Greatly missed

By Alan Campbell of the Enterprise staff

As the first official forecast for a disastrous Michigan cherry crop became official yesterday afternoon, the face of what is considered a highly effective public relations campaign to promote the fruit is concerned — but not frowning. “It’s a great crop, there are great people in the industry,” said Jeff Manning, whose Industry ability to sell combalances modity products was proven with the “Got promoting Milk” promotion that boosted milk sales cherries with across the country. little product “The media loves the story. It’s like sports, you get clobbered, you get injured, and you either quietly go away or you say, ‘I’m going to bounce back.’ And we are of the mind that we’re definitely going to bounce back.” Manning has led a team of media specialists

Members of the Sugarloaf Townhouse Owners Association say they’re “absolutely furious” with the lack of action being taken by local officials to address ongoing problems at Sugar Loaf Resort, which has been closed for 12 years. Association president Tony Mattar said vandals last week apparently broke into a well house and water reservoir atop Sugar Loaf Mountain that provides water to the shuttered resort and 72 nearby townhouses. “Right now, there is absolutely no safeguard on (Concluded on Page 23)

Allee Romeo is being remembered as a shining star at Leland Public School and a leader on the Lake Leelanau Rowing Club. Today the school and community are mourning the loss of the Leland sixth–grader who died Sunday at Devos Children’s Hospital in Grand Rapids. The 12-year-old attended school, May 30, while taking medication to fight an Memorial ear infection. Her service set for symptoms perlast 11 a.m. Monday sisted Thursday and by Friday had grown in Leland gym to the point that for Allee Romeo her parents took

her to the emergency room. A spinal tap confirmed that the girl had bacterial meningitis, an inflammation of the protective membranes covering the brain and spinal cord. Allee was flown to the Grand Rapids hospital where she died two days later. The daughter of Joe and Rheanna Romeo, Allee moved to Leelanau County from Ohio and began attending school at Leland midway through the fourth grade. “Allee loved flowers and fairies. She had only lived here two years, but she really made a mark on this community,” said Cindy Landers, who lives next door to the Romeo’s near Sugar Loaf. Allee appeared in plays, joined the Lake Leelanau Rowing team and talked often of her desire to become a doctor, because a former

“No precautions” are necessary for those who had contact with Allee Romeo, the Leland sixth grader who died Sunday as a result of bacterial meningitis, according to health officials. The meningitis was caused by a bacteria called Streptococcus pneumoniae, also called pneumococcus. In a letter to Leland families, Benzie-Leelanau Health Department nurse Michelle Klein explained that serious health problems from the bacteria, and that contact with someone who has

Trap shooters take state title; 52 mph ‘birds’ fall to pieces By Alan Campbell of the Enterprise staff

SUGARLOAF TOWNHOUSE Owners Association officials Tony Mattar, left, and Tom Jubb inspect damage done recently to a water reservoir atop Sugar Loaf Mountain that serves the townhouses and the resort.

ALLEE ROMEO is shown with her mother, Rheanna, posing for a picture taken by her father, Joe, last October after winning a medal in the Lake Leelanau Rowing Regatta.

The numbers speak of trap shooting in calculating terms. A 4 1/8-inch “bird,” orange on top and black inside, is propelled at 52 to 54 mph from 16 feet away. Shooters have about that same distance to make a good shot, putting the point of impact at 30-32 feet. All that sounds like a precise sport — until a gust of wind kicks up. “The big variable is the wind,” said Jess Reed of Maple City. “It can make it go higher, or bounce around, or even Sport for dance.” Under a calm wind and everyone: mostly sunny skies, five shooters representing the ‘There is Rod and Gun Club no barrier.’ Cedar have claimed a state title.

Reed joined team captain Jim Balesh of Cedar, Bruce Rosema of Maple City, Lance Morgan of Interlochen and Gerald Storrer from the Lansing area in knocking down 484 out of 500 birds at the Michigan Trapshooter Association spring shoot. Balesh, 72, said the team has won state titles before, but never at the Division A level. Team members were just two hits away from having the best record in the state. “I’m going to say over the years, we’ve won state titles eight to ten times with different guys,” Balesh said. Under team trap rules, each shooter fires at five birds from one of five stations, then the entire team rotates. Each round consists of 25 shots, and the team competes in four rounds to come up with a total score. The Cedar Rod and Gun Club team was one of (Concluded on Page 23)

Allee was a sixth grade student at Leland Public Schools. She loved school. Allee was very involved with the arts. She was also the Coxswain for the Lake Leelanau Rowing Club. She was a friend to all and will be greatly missed by all who knew her. Allee is the most amazing child parents could ever have. She made life and parenting an easy experience. The best parts of my wife and I combined could not equal one Allee. We realize that her greatness was beyond our making, she was just on loan to us long enough to understand how awesome this world can be and is. All we have to do is open our hearts and eyes to see it. Allee will be greatly missed by her parents Joseph and Rheanna, brothers Anthony and Colin; Paternal Grandparents: Steve (Judy) Romeo and June Romeo, maternal Grandfather Mike (Sherry Eberle) Rohr, maternal great grandmother Frances Hunter, and many aunts, uncles and cousins.

Please share a memory of Allee at www.covellfuneralhomes.com Arrangements have been entrusted to Covell Funeral Home of Traverse City. She loved this county and the lovely people she encountered within it. We hope she touched your lives as profoundly as she did ours. She will be missed eternally. Thank you for all of the kind and generous support. Your community has been better than we could have ever hoped for. We knew that Leelanau County would be a great place to raise Allee but now we know it was the only place that matched the beauty she brought to us all. Thank you for making this little pack of “Fudgies” feel like we have been here for generations. The Romeo Family.

VIEWS

our opinion

Leland kicks fire dept. decision down the road Without wading too deeply into problems beseeching the administration of former Leland Township fire chief Michael Fandel, we feel some criticism should be levied at the Leland Township Board’s indecisive move toward the future. Mr. Fandel had lost the support of many Leland firefighters, who complained that he didn’t work enough, was unresponsive to their calls and in general lacked respect from the men serving under him. He isn’t the first boss to draw such comments from those within his supervision. We’ve left it up to the township fire board — an advisory group — and the Township Board to sort through the allegations. After nine or so months of trying to keep everybody happy, little progress had been made until Mr. Fandel tendered his resignation on May 18. In between came special meetings, requests for unsigned comments from firefighters, and even the hiring of a consultant and mediation specialist at a pricetag of $4,400 to work through personalities and allegations. Finally, it appeared some resolution had been attained to an issue that had the potential to destroy the camaraderie of the department. But wait a minute. Three of five Township Board members — trustees Steve Plamondon and Susan Och and treasurer Shirley Garthe — voted to pursue whether Mr. Fandel should be retained as a member of the fire department at a lesser rank, as he has requested. The three board members last week blocked a motion to officially remove him from the department — something you would think a resignation would have accomplished. The Township Board had previously voted unanimously to accept his resignation. Instead, the board regressed to passing a resolution requiring interim fire chief Geoff Niessink to make a recommendation to the board. That’s a heck of a position to hang on your new department leader, putting Mr. Niessink between his former boss and firefighters he is charged with directing. And direction is what the Leland Township Volunteer Fire Department needs now more than ever. We don’t pretend to know who was right and wrong in the conflicts that developed between Mr. Fandel and firefighters. At this juncture, that’s not the point. Perhaps some time in the future the expertise of the former chief will be offered to and accepted by the department. Today’s priority should be starting anew, not kicking the can down the road and at someone under your authority.

Lake trout work critical for big lake’s future They called them greasers, which helped to explain why they weren’t much as lovers. And besides, salmon had become kings of Lake Michigan. So few people other than scientists, naturalists and a handful of fishermen who knew enough to care paid much attention as a four-decade-old program to restore a naturally reproducing lake trout population in Lake Michigan continued to flounder. The program may be getting closer to paying off, but only as the biology of Lake Michigan takes its latest abrupt turn. The big lake once overflowed with alewives, which like salmon were a salt water transplant. Lake trout, decidedly a fresh water fish, gorged with the salmon. Lakers took in the oily residue from alewives, which tainted their delicacy in the opinions of taste buds, and were nicknamed “greasers.” An alewife diet apparently isn’t good for the libido of lake trout, either. Scientists now believe it causes a nutritional deficiency that defines itself on spawning beds. Help might be on the way for lake trout in the form of a changed diet as the alewife population wanes in Lake Michigan. When the alewife population crashed in Lake Huron in 2002, a naturally reproducing lake trout population re-established, feeding on other prey fish including smelt. Hopefully, changes to Lake Michigan will come in more measured portions. We wish fishery biologists such as Jory Jonas, who works at the Charlevoix station of the Michigan Department of Natural Resources, luck in efforts to bring back lake trout reproduction in a lake whose evolutionary changes have closed from centuries to years. Their work is important in understanding the effect of the ultimate predator of Lake Michigan — humans — and how we might mitigate its damage.

Hats off to those who started Little Finger Post To the Editor: I appreciated the May 24, 2012, Diversions Section, and I recall the hard work of the many returning soldiers and their wives who worked diligently to establish the Little Finger Post 7731. Mr. Belanger was about right on the cost of the property as the bank mistakenly removed the funds ($500 I think) for the land from our personal joint account rather than the Little Finger Post account. My husband Albert worked on this project as well and was responsible for writing the check on behalf of the VFW post account. The mistake was quickly corrected. Hats off to the men and women who worked to establish this landmark and a tribute to the Belangers who furnished the information for this moving article. Theresa Walter N.

Northport “7” were a one-of-a-kind class When I graduated from high school back in 1975, I felt like a name and not a number in my class of 320-plus. After all I had played four different high school sports, was a member of a barbershop quartet in the school’s Merry-GoRound, a National Honor Society member and co-editor of the Handy Pep, the school newspaper. I was also the third sibling to graduate from the Bay City public school and I had two younger brothers attending Bay City Handy at the same time. I learned Friday night that I’ve got nothing on the Northport kids. Seven! Yes, seven students got their diplomas in the school's small gym. The record low is an anomaly, school offi cials say. Typically about 15 students graduate each year. But there they were ... four guys and three girls in the entire graduating class. It isn’t often that class officers make up nearly two-thirds of the graduating class. Not only does everyone in the high school know their names, they probably know what their middle initials stand for, their favorite meals and their grade point averages. When I walked into the commencement exercise, I felt like I was at Cheers. You know the old television sitcom … a bar in Boston where everybody knows your name. I’ve been in Leelanau County a year now. I’ve covered high school sports and even officiated basketball and soccer. I knew something about six of the students prior to last week. I met Forrest Rogers first. He was the lone senior and keeper on the soccer team. Valedictorian Nina Muller was No. 2. She was a standout volleyball and basketball player. I met salutatorian John Petoskey, Francis Wanageshik and Austin Miller during the boys basketball season although I had seen Wanegeshik at soccer matches. I even remember the day he was the most popular guy on the planet, walking with two queens during the homecoming ceremonies. One of the students, Chelsie Wack even welcomed me into her

home, OK her grandparents’ Chelsie and A column home. her family let me by tell their story of Chelsie’s recent Mike diagnosis of multiSpencer ple sclerosis. It was an emotional interview. The only student I had not met until Friday was Megan Henderson. But I did call her last week to ask her about her future plans and hopes. Her candid thoughts and reflections are on the cover of Section 2. After listening to Wanageshik, Muller and Petoskey talk about their classmates, I was thinking I might have been closer to more of my hundreds of classmates. The seven apparently didn’t get along. They even joked about it. One called the seven a “dysfunctional family,” another said there was a “love-hate” relationship and another admitted they had not been “model students,” setting records for office visits, etc. In their own way, however, they said they actually loved their classmates. One school official explained the graduates were simply “independent, free thinkers” with their own diverse interests, But in such a small school, there weren’t others that shared their same interests. During the commencement exercise, this class was even out-numbered by Northport Class of 1962. Nine of them were on hand. They were also a part of Baccalaureate for the Class of 2012. They even had a reunion at the home of classmate who resides in Omena. I’m wondering if there’ll be a class reunion with this recent Northport group of grads. They say time heals all wounds. Maybe in five, 10, 15 or 20 years it will come to fruition. But one thing is certain about this Class of 2012. They will make a mark in their own way, whether it’s Rogers with a medal while serving in the Army, or Miller becoming the astronomer who finds life on another planet. Maybe Wack will find become the greatest educator of all time or find a cure for the disease that threatened to take away her senior year. Who knows, Wanageshik may become a dentist, Henderson a financial whiz, Muller a biologist and Petoskey an attorney arguing a case before the Supreme Court.

State budget may be done, but not everyone’s happy Stash the sleeping bags. No need to buy that no-doze. For the second year in a row state lawmakers have adopted the new state budget three months before the October first deadline which means no mad dash to the finish line this fall to avoid a shutdown of state government. Ah shucks. Covering the two abbreviated government shutdowns under the old Granholm administration was great theater as she and legislative leaders fumbled and bumbled their way to spend all of your tax dollars before the bewitching hour of midnight on September 30. Gov. Rick Snyder wants none of that which is why he and his GOP leaders put together this budget in plenty of time. So let the carping begin. The senate Democratic leader found nothing to like in the document which she says is a “2”. Gretchen Whitmer (D-East Lansing) says this is a “massive disinvestment in education” which does not hold schools harmless. Sure the R’s pumped an additional $120 per pupil into the K-12 budget but math major Ms. Whitmer says based on the $450 per pupil cut the schools took last year, the “increase” is anything but. Not so fast counters arch-rival the senate GOP leader. Sen. Randy Richardville gives the budget a “9-plus” calling it the “best budget I’ve seen in 13 years.” He points to beefing up the state’s Rainy Day fund from a low of $10 million to its current $400 million.

“What you can’t hear, can hurt you” By Tim Skubick

Plus, “We’ve restructured our revenue stream; we’ve paid off some long term debt...These are things that Wall Street has looked at and concluded that Michigan is now a much better managed state.” Indeed the state got a credit rating bump last week to Triple A. Get use to this budget back and forth as the D’s believe they have a campaign issue to use against the R’s in the house elections this fall. “Republicans balanced the books on the backs of the needy while helping their rich friends,” the story line will go from the Democratic side of the ledger. “We put the state back on a solid ﬁnancial foundation,” the Republicans will counter. And you, dear readers, will have to decide who is right. Lots of luck with that.

Bicycle cartels too influential with parks and trails To the Editor:

featuring premier baked goods by chef Gene Peyerk

THE LEELANAU ENTERPRISE

Private organizations like TART and Friends of the Dunes have too much money and influence to be allowed to continue their bike paths of destruction through our beloved national park. The money they are allowed to donate far exceeds any private donation allowed to any political candidate including President of the United States. The 2011-2012 contribution limits set by the Federal Election Commission, limits the amount of any private donation to any candidate to $2,500 per election. If a private donation of more than $2,500 could possibly influence a political candidate trying to become an elected public official, how could a $100,000 donation or a $1,000,000 dollars of donations, not influence the small number of public officials who ultimately decide the fate of projects like the Heritage Trail? The bicycle cartels have no effective limit on how much money they can donate to satisfy their bucket list of needs they think all disabled people and children should want as much as they do. There is also no effective limits on how much federal grant money can be used to fund these bizarre new projects that conflict with what the parks were established for in the first place. The amount of money that is pouring in is literally paving the way towards the over-development of the parks and leaving wide open to the merciless onslaught of out of control federal spending and the bottomless bucket lists of the bicycle cartels.

Community planning commissions and the lawmakers in Lansing must consider a study conducted by audiologists at Michigan State University (MSU)* that concluded Michigan’s siting guidelines for utility scale wind turbines are outdated even though they follow the guidelines of the World Health Organization and the Environmental Protection Agency. The challenged guidelines state that the noise level at the property line next to a utility scale wind turbine cannot exceed 55 dBA. The researchers concluded that the sound generated by wind turbines as measured on the dBA weighting scale do not cause hearing loss. However, they did ﬁnd convincing evidence that audible and low frequency acoustic energy (infrasound) generated by wind turbines causes health problems. Infrasound is measured on the dBC weighting scale. Infrasound produces a variety of physical symptoms due to vibratory stimulation of the human ear and its inner membranes (vestibular system). The symptoms are described as “a sensation of internal quivering, vibration or pulsation accompanied by agitation, anxiety, alarm, irritability, rapid heart beat, nausea and sleep disturbances.” Those most affected are elderly persons; children (under 6 years), and people with preexisting medical conditions that are aggravated with altered sleep patterns or sleep deprivation. Wind Turbine Syndrome collectively describes the symptoms. European investigators have conducted the majority of research on the Syndrome. Utility scale wind turbines (1.5 to 5 MW of capacity) have been used in Europe for years. Infrasound is the aerodynamic modulation that is created by the wind turbine blades as they pass by the turbine tower. This interaction generates a broad band “whooshing” sound. This sound is increased and intensiﬁed when wind speed and direction are constantly changing, and the wind turbine is constantly adjusting to accommodate wind variability. This aerodynamic modulation is vibratory in nature, and not easily masked by ambient or surrounding environmental sounds. This vibratory acoustic energy penetrates the walls of homes and other buildings as detected by seismometers buried in the ground even when the “whoosh” is not audible. The MSU study recommended a set back for a utility turbine of 1.25 miles from homes and other buildings such as hospitals, schools and nursing homes. Sound measurements should include the dBC weighting scale and taken at night since wind speed and turbine rotation are higher at night. The MSU researchers concluded, “We believe that the state of Michigan, and other states that have adopted similar siting guidelines (WHO and EPA Guidelines) for wind turbines, are not

acting in the best interests of all their citizens and need to revise their siting guidelines to protect the public from possible health risks and loss of property values, as well as reduce complaints about noise annoyance.”

Move to Amend group had a right to present its case To the Editor: I was one of the Move to Amend presenters at the May 8th County Commissioners meeting. I have taken some time to reﬂect upon that morning and to think about some of the comments that were made by commissioners. I have also reviewed the letters and editorials referring to that meeting. I appreciate that we, the citizens of Leelanau County, have an accommodating venue in which to express our views and opinions. That said I wish to take issue with Commissioner Schmuckal’s assertion that political issues may not come before the board of commissioners. The First Amendment guarantees citizens the right to petition their government. The right to bring an issue before a governing body is guaranteed. Additionally, I have learned there are no board of commissioner rules stating a political issue may not come before the board. Our group was appropriately entered on the agenda and we were prepared to make our presentation. Imagine our surprise and dismay when Commissioner Schmuckal moved to delete us from the agenda. Mr. Schmuckal asserted that he had consulted with the Leelanau County Republican Chairman prior to the meeting; he also stated that he is a lifelong Republican, thereby turning the issue at hand into a political matter. I must, therefore, make this implicitly clear: Move to Amend is a non-partisan organization. Before we were allowed to give our presentation, Mr. Schmuckal and a few other commissioners, made the assumption that we had a political agenda. This is an issue that crosses all party lines. Townships, counties, villages and cities across the United States have adopted the Move to Amend resolution. Our MTA group requested that Leelanau County join with the many communities in support of an amendment that says money is not speech and corporations are not people.

Zoning ordinances for utility scale wind turbines need to be directed toward protecting the rights of individuals living near them and not merely to implement a “green energy” policy.

Son’s injury changes Memorial Day perspective To the Editor: December 7th. To many, this date will always be remembered for the attack on Pearl Harbor. Until this past year, this is what it meant to me. But this year on Dec. 7th it took on a whole new meaning. Just as Memorial Day has taken on a whole new meaning to me this year. It used to just be another paid day off from work. But not anymore. Today, my husband and I went to Memorial Day service at the Veterans Memorial and gave our respects to those who gave their lives. While my son did not die in the blast that hit him, it did change his life and ours as a family forever. They talk a lot about Post Traumatic Stress Disorder for the returning military, but I think there is also some of that for the families. There isn’t a day that goes by that I don’t relive that phone call in my head. I tear up at the littlest thing. Show me a commercial with a soldier in uniform and I’m going for the tissue box. And I’m sure that I’m not the only one. My son was one of the luckier ones, it you can call it that. His injuries were minor compared to some that come back. They and their families need all of our support and help. Things have changed a lot in the last few years when it comes to programs for these vets. But it all takes our support. Please take a few minutes and go to www. WoundedWarriorProject.org or to www.TAPS.org and see what you can do to help. They gave their all for you. Please give a little for them. Practically every day someone asks me how Ryan is doing. Thank you for caring. Deb Radjenovich S. St. Mary’s St. Lake Leelanau — Author is the mother of Spc. Ryan Paulton, U.S. Army

What does “family owned” mean to you? We grew up here, shook cherries, went to school, played ball, and maybe got into a little mischief in our youth! Those shared experiences gives us great pride in our area that is shown in our contributions to the numerous schools, churches community organizations, scholarships and community interests we donate to. We are proud to support Leelanau County.

The Leelanau Enterprise’s “friendly neighborhood Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) policeman” just shot himself in the foot. Eric Carlson wrote, “... to the extent that the [Grand Traverse Band of Ottawa & Chippewa Indians] accepts and expends federal dollars – and the GTB is partially funded by the feds – the Tribe is subject to the U.S. Freedom of Information Act.” Not true. The FOIA only covers some agencies of the U.S. but not “Governments of the territories or possessions of the United States.” Once all of Leelanau County was Indian Country. As neighbors on the Reservation in Peshawbestown, the GTB enjoys sovereign immunity as a nation. Yes, one can make FOIA requests to the Bureau of Indian Affairs (BIA), but not directly to the Tribe. The FOIA does not apply merely because one receives U.S. funding. The Tribe’s U.S. “funding” is due to freely negotiated Treaties in exchange for peace and land. While Israel and Eqypt are the two largest recipients of

U.S. foreign aid “funding,” any FOIA request from the Enterprise to Tel Aviv or Cairo would also fall on deaf ears. Eric waives his war club when writing, “I’ve never really tried very hard to enforce that (FOIA) law with the tribe ... though I’ve been stonewalled numerous times by tribal ofﬁcials.” Know that the GTB lives up to “both the letter and the spirit of the law” by ignoring a Leelanau Enterprise FOIA request. The Tribe enjoys a fundamental right to self-governance without the intrusion of non-members. To acknowledge such an unlawful request would compromise the GTB’s sovereign rights as a nation. Now let’s just “smoke the peace pipe” and enjoy this summer’s Pow Wow on the Rez. Joan M.

Township Board. It would be illusionary to think that after putting forth our best ideas in a collaborative fashion, that we would repeat this process and create a totally different ordinance. The 1996 ordinance has served the township well for the past 14 years, but the new ordinance is modern and greatly improved. Signing the petition is appropriate for those who have read the ordinance and truly feel it will impair them in some fashion and would prefer the 1996 ordinance. To sign the petition based on hyperbole, is to follow a small crowd that openly doesn’t like zoning including the 1996 ordinance. Read the ordinance, at least those parts you think might impact you and make your own decision about signing. If the petition drive is successful, the new ordinance would be voted on in the November election, not the August primary. Some construction work now being planned for accessory dwellings will be put on hold in the interim as well as all other provisions found in it. — Author is the chairman of the Leland Township Planning Commission

This letter addresses some incorrect information pertaining to the proposed referendum of the Leland Township Zoning Ordinance. The statement was made that the new ordinance would affect 70 percent of the township citizens, is incorrect. The new ordinance applies to all property owners in the Township. The new ordinance is the work of six township citizens, each a small business owner, aided by a professional planner. The ordinance has been accused of preventing young people from buying houses and property in the township. High property values and resultant high prices are more likely the factors as the reason. The six members of the PC went

through the 1996 ordinance virtually word for word and challenged the necessity for much of the regulatory language. Overall, we liberalized the new ordinance while still affording reasonable protection for the growth of township. For example; we removed the prohibition of accessory dwellings. We removed any prohibition to convert migrant housing into what would be low income housing. We changed the deck size on the lakes from 50 square feet to 220 square feet. We crafted a Winery provision, to allow them to grow and prosper, while at the same time affording them some protection outside wine interests that may not make the costly agriculture investment in the township. We crafted a gravel extraction ordinance which further safeguards adjacent properties while still allowing a viable operation. We have reformatted many parts of the document so it is easier for citizens to use. What happens if the new ordinance does go to a referendum and is voted down by the township citizens? The 1996 Zoning Ordinance will continue on. The Planning Commission is required to review and recommend an ordinance to the

To the Editor: To the Traverse Lake property owners that seem only to be concerned with their privacy and their lake community along Traverse Lake, please remember that Sleeping Bear Sand Dunes and the Lake Michigan shoreline were not voted the most beautiful place in America because it has a bike roadway of asphalt along its shores. If we keep “improving” the Lakeshore for those who seem not to be able to enjoying amazing national park and need more amenities, it is unlikely that this vote will be repeated. How dare these property owners promote the plan of paving along Lake Michigan instead of along an existing roadway? I am against any extension of the bike roadway north of the Homestead and understand their angst, but to promote paving the lake shore area itself is beyond absurd — it would truly destroy this park and take away forever the remote feeling of peace and serenity along the coast of Sleeping Bear and Lake Michigan. Lastly, to suggest that paving along Lake Michigan would not disturb nature (as it most certainly will along Traverse Lake Road as well) is the ultimate hypocrisy. Christine Sykes E. Narlock Road, Cedar

THIS SIGN, identifying Empire as the ‘most beautiful place in America’ was stolen last week.

‘Beautiful’ place blemished by theft “I think it was someone local. They’re looking at it in their garage, chuckling while they drink a couple of beers.” Neiswonger supports replacing the sign. “Maybe it should be on the (Narrows) bridge and say that both communities (Empire and Glen Arbor) are the most beautiful in the nation,” she said. Neiswonger believes lighting the sign could reduce the likelihood of a second loss. “It could be a simple ﬁx,” she said. Meanwhile, Skinner is trying to keep the loss in perspective. “It’s not the end of the world,” he said. “It’s a minor thing compared to the things a lot other people have to put up with.” Anyone with information about the incident is asked to call the county Sheriff’s Department at 256-8800. — by Amy Hubbell

The “most beautiful place in America” incurred a blemish last week. A new sign identifying Empire with the designation was reported Friday as stolen. The theft is believed to have taken place overnight Thursday. Sleeping Bear Dunes National Lakeshore was identiﬁed as the “most beautiful place in America” through an online poll conducted last summer by the television show Good Morning America. An addition to the “Empire” sign at the entrance of the village on M-72, it was bolted in place just prior to the Asparagus Festival last month, according to Paul Skinner of the Empire Chamber of Commerce. He was able to take the theft in good humor. “The rumors that Glen Arbor stole it are completely false,” Skinner said, jokingly. “I’m sure it’s adorning some sweatshirt-ridden dorm room somewhere in the Midwest.” Chamber members are downplaying the theft of the sign, valued at $350, not wanting visitors to get the impression that Empire is unsafe. “If people ask where it went, I’m telling them that it is attached to the fence at Glen’s Landﬁll on M-72,” Skinner said. Empire Township Clerk Christine Neiswonger was saddened to hear about the theft. “The more popular you get … these things can follow,” Neiswonger said.

To the Editor: Recently I received a “Take Action Request” from Cherryland Electric Cooperative asking its members to write the Environmental Protection Agency to protest EPA’s efforts to regulate pollution from coal plants. Cherryland’s members should have a reasonable expectation that its management is informed by accurate data and information regarding energy costs, energy choices and energy impacts. Cherryland’s continued support for new coal plants reflects a lack of understanding of emerging trends in energy economics. The Michigan Public Service Commission has determined that electricity generated from wind is already 40 percent cheaper than electricity produced by new coal plants. The financial and insurance communities have rejected new coal generation as a viable future energy generation option because of its high cost and its health and environmental impacts. The EPA has documented the health impacts associated with coal generation and has determined that economic impacts associated with coal related morbidity and mortalities are substantial and independent analyses of the environmental and health impacts of coal generation indicate that the cost of coal generation would be more than 150 percent higher if these externalities were fully accounted for in the cost of electricity. Market recognition of these factors has lead the Energy Information Agency (EIA) to forecast that no new coal generation plants will break ground in the United States in the next 25 years — through the end of EIA’s forecasting period. Yet all of this is lost on Cherryland Electric. This raises the question: Why should Cherryland’s members have confidence in the cooperative’s management? Brigid Hart S.

To the Editor: At the May 21 public meeting of the Leelanau Scenic Heritage Route Committee, the Little Traverse Lake Property Owners presented information on an “Along The Shore” segment as part of the Heritage Trail. The “Along The Shore” route between CR 669 and CR 651 would complement the first portion of the Dune Climb to Glen Arbor segment by creating a superior natural experience for the trail user, as compared to a trail along a county public road. This “Along The Shore” route follows historical and existing roads, does not have significant environmental impacts (no wetlands, no clearing of mature forests, no large creek crossings, no removal of protected critical dune hills), does not impact private property owners, avoids public safety concerns, and is considerably lower in cost than proposed alternatives. The LTLPOA also detailed numerous problems and real challenges with the currently proposed Traverse Lake Road options, which would result in a substandard user experience along a county road. A professional review of the Park’s environmental assessment report has also been completed by Mansfield & Associates, Inc. and highlights various inconsistencies and inadequacies. The presentation, as well as other key information, can be viewed at www. AlongTheShore.info. Len Swanson Traverse Lake Road, Cedar

REPRESENTATIVES OF the cherry industry met Friday with U.S. Sen. Debbie Stabenow at the Northwest Michigan Horticultural Research Station to discuss ramifications of a proposed Farm Bill now in the Senate. Shown from left are Jim Bardenhagen, Stabenow, Jim Nugent, Nicki Rothwell, Ben LaCross and Nita and Jeff Send. ries on top shelves of grocery stores. The industry went through a similar crop disaster in 2002, and responded by cutting costs and abandoning markets. It took nearly a decade for sales to recover. Manning said industry leaders are taking a more forward-looking approach in 2012. “From what I hear we kind of backed off (in 2002), we didn’t want to do anything, and then when we got to 2003 we started at zero. We’re going to keep marketing cherries, keep reminding manufacturers that they are a super fruit,” he said. Manning didn’t push to have cherries appear on the front page of the Sunday edition of the Wall Street Journal, although he said the paper’s coverage of the crop failure was fair. It dealt with the impending shortage of tart cherries that has processors and manufacturers scrambling to find product, even from eastern Europe. That’s because just as cherries appeared repositioned for a long run as a healthy alternative that tastes good, frosts nipped premature cherry buds in Michigan that were prompted to swell by a stream of 80-degree days in March. Solid numbers explaining the damage in terms of lost cherry crops were due to be released yesterday afternoon following the Enterprise’s deadline. Leelanau is grows more cherries than any other county in the nation. Estimates released by the Michigan Farm Bureau put the tart cherry loss at $38.5 million; the state’s average tart cherry revenues are $42.8 million. The sweet cherry loss was estimated at $11.6 million; the state’s average sweet cherry harvest produces $14.5 million in revenues. Federal programs and low-interest loans from the state will help growers and, to some extent, processors. But in the long run, keeping alive the tools necessary to turn out a crop in 2013 won’t help if markets have dried up. Phil Korson, executive director and one of only two employees at the Cherry Marketing Institute (CMI), understands that. But he’s also got a budget to maintain, and Michigan tart and sweet cherry growers normally provide 75 percent of the industry’s $1.5 million revenue stream generated from cherry crops to promote the fruit. CMI’s total budget is $3 million. “Our revenue this year is $70,000 for

the state of Michigan. So everything has to be scaled back to what our priorities are,” said Korson. When interviewed prior to the release of official cherry crop estimates, Michigan was expected to produce 9.5 million pounds of tart and sweet cherries. The state has the capacity to produce 275 million pounds of just tarts. One effect has been massive layoffs by processors. “If you are operating pitting plants, you have to decide if you are going to even open the plant at all,” he said. CMI has also made cuts, reducing production research by $160,000 and eliminating $300,000 that had been designated for health research projects run through major universities. The unavoidable effect will be a hole in the steady stream of new research CMI planned to release in future years. “We’ll have enough (studies) still coming out next year ... where we’ll have a void is three years down the road,” he said. “Anything we can cut out of the budget, we cut.” Ads in trade magazines such as Food Processor were axed. And, unfortunately, some promotional programs will need to be scaled back — already some $265,000 has been transferred to the 2013 budget. The present thought is to have enough funds in the bank to create a major blitz in preparation for markets to utilize the 2013 budget. “We want to keep some programs in the promotion budget; we don’t want to go silent. We may not have much out there for the next six months, and then ramp it,” he said. He cautioned that the CMI advisory board would meet soon to provide a more exact strategy matched by expenses. He fully expects that all aspects of marketing, including whether Manning will play a smaller role, will be discussed. “Everything is on the docket,” he said. The cherry industry, which as Manning says has a great story to tell but little product, is left to walk a tight line in the coming months with a limited supply of cherries that will be grown mostly in Utah and Washington orchards. “Whatever we do on the promotion side just creates anxiety because the processors can’t get product,” Korson said.

Continued from Page 1 from a Chicago public relations firm hired by the cherry industry to promote and find new niches for cherries. Their efforts have helped turn tart cherries from pie filling to tasty vitamin tablets in the minds of many consumers, creating new markets within the health food industry. And they’ve been successful with an annual budget of less than 10 percent of the funds spent in Manning’s milk promotion that relied mostly on television and print advertising. Instead, the cherry industry has used press releases to leverage positive media coverage and relatively cheap social media outlets to reach consumers. “It was somewhat a different era 20 years ago,” explained Manning. “But in terms of publicity, free coverage of our stories ... we’ve received more publicity on cherries at $1.2 (million) than we did on ‘got milk’ when we spent all that money on advertisements in California.” However, that cherry promotion budget is in jeopardy, as it’s largely funded by a surcharge paid by growers based on each pound of cherries harvested. The monies go toward a slew of programs, including research to quantify the health benefits of cherries, designed to put cher-

By various names, help available to growers

growers with compensation for crop loss. “It’s basically for all crops where there is not a crop insurance program already established,” explained Bardenhagen. Farmers can enroll for a basic fee of $250 per crop with an upper limit of $750; most if not all tart cherry growers in Leelanau County are enrolled, he continued. To cover all tart cherries on a farm, the fee would be $250. Toss in potatoes and hay, and the price goes to $750. After that, all other crops that do not have specific insurance programs are included. The program kicks in with a complicated formula after more than half of a crop is lost when compared with the previous 10-year average. “So you would be eligible for some kind of payment on the pounds that are over 50 percent of your loss. The first 50 percent of your loss, you’ll get nothing for — there’s no coverage,” Bardenhagen said. The lost pounds eligible for reimbursement are multiplied by a percentage of the price they might fetch on the open market. The price is determined by taking the average amount paid over the previous five years after throwing out the high and low years. “Whatever that price is, they’ll take 55 percent of that, times the pounds you are eligible for, and that will be your benefit,” Bardenhagen said. There are other provisions that come into play. For instance, 5 percent of the yield of a block of orchard is reduced for each year the trees age beyond 23. And if an orchardist chooses not to harvest, only 80 percent of the benefit is provided to compensate for the cost of not having to spray and shake trees. “That tends to not generate a great deal of bucks to help pay the bills for spraying that is needed. But we don’t want to kick it in the face, because it helps pay the bills. We’re glad that it’s there. But the amount of money we get for it is not going to pay all the bills for sure, and probably not even all the chemical bills. On the other hand, it’s only costing $250, and the government is kicking in and helping,” Bardenhagen said. He provided an example of a 20 acre block of tarts that would normally yield 8,141 pounds per acre — the state average. Assuming a total loss, some 4,070 pounds would be covered. The average price of 22 cents per pound would be reduced to 55 percent. If no crop was harvested — a 20 percent reduction — the farmer

would receive $7,080 for the 20 acres. If the tart cherry block had produced a normal yield, it would have provided its owner $35,820. But NAP has another catch — it comes with an upper limit of $100,000. Supplemental Revenue Assistance Program (SURE) Here’s another federal program where the acronym makes only marginal sense, but the word “supplemental” does describe its mission as SURE is meant to supplement NAP and crop insurance programs. SURE has been of great help to growers in times of need, but again provides little comfort for owners of large blocks of tart cherry orchards because of its cap of $100,000. “You get a big grower with 1,000 acres, and $100,000 isn’t a lot of money,” Bardenhagen said. The program, however, can be paired with NAP to provide growers with up to $200,000 in income when crops fail, which provides a fairly strong safety net for cherry farmers working up to about 100 acres of tart cherry orchards, Bardenhagen said. Again growers must follow a complicated formula to apply. The bottom line, usually, is that a SURE payment is equal to about double the typical NAP payment of 20 percent for tart cherry loss — meaning that the two programs combine to bring revenue to growers up to about 60 percent of an average year. SURE was written into the 2008 Farm Bill, and then augmented with a one-time infusion of Stimulus funding for its ﬁrst year only that provided an upper limit of funding for many farmers. “I couldn’t qualify for it because of my diversity of crops,” said Bardenhagen. Unfortunately for growers, the program has been eliminated, as its authorization expired during the last ﬁscal year for the federal government on Sept. 30, 2011. Bringing back SURE for at least one year represents the “simplest” form of help for most growers, Bardenhagen believes. “But it’s going to be tough, we are told, during an election year and a cutting mentality from the feds. So we might not get any (new or extended programs) for this year, but we are hoping to get something to grab onto.” Lacking supplemental funding from an extension of SURE, tart cherry growers signed up through NAP would receive income for 2012 crop losses equal to only about 20 percent

in April. The Michigan Farm Bureau, which provided information used in the bill, estimated that the effect of the crop loss in Michigan will top $500 million. Franz had earlier sponsored a resolution asking President Barack Obama and the U.S. Secretary of Agriculture to designate western Michigan as a federal agricultural disaster area, which would qualify farmers for national disaster assistance programs. “It’s critical that farmers in our area and across the state have access to a lifeline when they need it,” Franz said. “Times have been tough for the industry these past few years.” Franz expected the state loan bill to come up for a full House vote today. “Hopefully, the talk is there will be a direct vote on the ﬂoor of the Senate, and (it) will go to the governor’s ofﬁce possibly next week,” he said. Why the 1 percent interest rate when no interest was charged in 2002? “The mood is that we don’t do just handouts to anybody. This will help. But (growers) have to be a part of ... the answer. There was never talk of a zero percent grant of any sort,” Franz said.

A bill that is moving quickly through Lansing will provide fruit growers with a source of funding to help get them through what promises to be a difficult year. House Bill 5717, introduced by Rep. Ray Franz (R-Onekama), would provide growers and processors with loans of up to $1 million at a 1 percent interest rate. The loans would have to be repaid over five years, although no principal payments would be due for the first two years. The cost to the state will be $15 million in interest subsidies and administrative fees, Franz said. State subsidies would leverage up to $300 million for loans administered by Greenstone Financial, an agricultural co-operative that would act much like credit unions that service their members. “In 2002, the state had a similar program, and there was no interest on that,” explained Franz. “Every farmer paid on time and completely; they got the money back. They (farmers) have a good track record.” The loan program will be offered to the growers of a variety of fruit, including cherries, apples, peaches and blueberries. An early start to the growing season in Michigan left fruits vulnerable to a slew of frosts

Other Leelanau County members of the committee include Dave Noonan of Kasson Township and Juanita Send of Bingham Township. The committee is authorized to act in a liaison capacity acting on behalf of growers to the Department of Agriculture. “There are extenuating circumstances that we have to decide, such as somebody came in late, do we want to allow them to participate,” Bardenhagen said. “If they don’t like what the (Farm Service Agency) did for them, they can appeal to us. They can also appeal to the state level.” He favors extending sweet cherry insurance throughout the industry, and using the template to create a tart cherry insurance program. With cherry insurance in place across the board, other federal programs could be pared down or eliminated. “They’re basically going toward having everything covered by crop insurance, but our message to legislators is we don’t have it. And we’ve been trying to get it,” he said.

• Sweet Cherry Crop Insurance. As the name delineates, the insurance is only good for sweets — which represent about 40 percent of the cherry trees planted in Leelanau County. The rest of the cherries are tarts, also called sours. The sweet cherry program is similar to that offered farmers of other commodities such as corn and soybeans, providing options and prices depending upon how much insurance growers want to buy. Sweet cherry growers can choose to insure their crop at 50 percent to 75 percent of its average revenue. Reimbursement is based on the deviation from the average annual revenue realized from sweet cherries at one farm for the previous ﬁve seasons. The premium at Bardenhagen’s farm cost $138 per acre for the most protection available. “That was the price at 75 percent election. I changed mine to 50 percent this year, unfortunately, and it was close to $105 per acre,” he said. Growers at a regional meeting held two weeks ago asked U.S. Reps. Dan Benishek (R-Iron River) and Dave Camp (R-Midland) to press the Department of Agriculture to make permanent the sweet cherry program for all growers, and to extend it to tart cherries. “We’ve asked if this program can be put to tart cherries,” said Don Gregory, co-owner with his brother Bob of Cherry Bay Orchards in Suttons Bay Township. “We never heard back from (the Department of Agriculture).” Reimbursement is reduced for growers without enough of a sweet cherry crop to pick. The program plugs in seven cents a pound in savNAP, ings for farmers SURE whose fruit is norshaken, and and TAP mally 28 cents for handpicked crops. part of Surprisingly, confusing sweet cherry crop insurance is still federal considered a “pilot” program after startaid for ing out in Washfarmers. ington State in 1999.

Tree Assistance Program (TAP) TAP also expired in 2011 — some five months before a late winter snowstorm took out some entire orchards with older tart cherry trees. Bardenhagen hopes efforts by the Michigan Farm Bureau and other organizations to have the program reinstated retroactively in a new Farm Bill will pay off. “There has been pressure to do that, and they have done it (include the TAP program in the proposed Senate Agriculture bill), and it would be retroactive until 2012,” Bardenhagen said. The program picks up 75 per cent of the cost to clean up orchards, prepare the ground with a cover crop, and replant. It’s most often been applied to offset losses due to drought. Bardenhagen sits on the district Farm Service Agency (FSA) committee. The FSA is the arm of the U.S. Department of Agriculture that administers federal programs to farmers.

Why don't tart cherry growers have crop insurance? Why do sweet cherry growers in Leelanau County have crop insurance, but those in Oceana County don’t? Those are questions being asked as a massive cherry crop failure starts to run its course in Michigan. Apple and even strawberry growers have insurance designed for their commodities; tart cherry growers do not, and protection for sweet cherry growers is deﬁned by the location of their orchards. It’s all part of federal agricultural programs in place to help farmers through tough times, and many county growers are in a position to take advantage of them, according to former county Extension director and Leland Township fruit grower Jim Bardenhagen. Granted, the programs in the case of large operations don’t come close to making up income lost during a season when growers are considering whether to break out tree shakers to harvest the few cherries that survived a brutal string of heavy frosts in April. Many tart cherry orchards were decimated by a heavy snow that fell March 2-3. But federal programs will help many growers. Bardenhagen discussed federal assistance available to growers during what is sure to be a very difﬁcult year on their wallets.

Lake Leelanau man pushing ORV ordinance

County roads to get fixed with fed funds Nearly $2 million in federal dollars will be spent over the next two years on Leelanau County roads, thanks to the Indian Reservation Roads (IRR) program. The Leelanau County Road Commission on Tuesday approved the execution of an agreement between the county and the Grand Traverse Band of Ottawa and Chippewa Indians to use $1.9 million in IRR funds on six road projects. Those projects and their costs are: • County Road 645 resurfacing, $650,000 • Pobuda Road resurfacing, $250,000 • County Road 633 resurfacing, $700,000 • Maple Valley Road resurfacing and stream crossing replacement for a culvert that is too small, $255,000 • County Road 641 resurfacing and stream crossing replacement, $55,000 • Schomberg Road, stream crossing replacement for a ‘perched’ or too high culvert, $25,000. The county will also use grant money from the National Resources Conservation Service to pay for the stream crossing projects. The IRR program, administered by the Federal Highway Administration’s Federal Lands Highway Office and the

Bureau of Indian Affairs, gives tribes money to design, construct and maintain roads that are located on or provide access to Indian reservations, Indian trust land, restricted Indian land and Alaska native villages, according to the Federal Lands Highway website. The program gets its funding from the federal gas tax. When the program started, money was used just for roads that are actually on reservations, but in 2006 it was expanded to include other public roads that provide a benefit to the tribes, said Jim Johnson, engineer, Leelanau County Road Commission. Since then the county has partnered with the GTB to inventory most of the county’s 600 miles of roads, Johnson said. Expanding the IRR program to include peripheral roads has brought much more money into Leelanau County, Johnson said, as there are only about 10-15 miles of roads on reservation land. “Realistically they don’t have enough places to spend this money,” he said. Lee A. Bowen, Road Commission chair, directed Johnson to write a letter to the Tribe thanking them. “They’ve been very good to us,” Bowen said. In the past few years about $2.1 mil-

lion of IRR money has been spent on county roads, including CR 633, and Putnam, Lakeview and Lakeview Hills roads. In other business the commission approved contracts with Leelanau and Cleveland townships for three projects on Scott Road, Omena Point Road and Lime Lake Road. Those projects will be funded with a 50-50 match of county and township funds. Leelanau Township’s match for the Omena Point Road project will be paid at 25 percent in 2013 and 25 percent in 2014. The township had already committed its road money to other projects, but Omena Point Road is quickly deteriorating and county officials did not want to wait another year to repair it. Road Commission Vice Chairman John Popa voted against the contract, saying he thinks the project could be done next year and that having the county fund it this year is not a good use of taxpayer money and sets a bad precedent. “That road is as bad as many roads in the county,” Popa said. The board also reported that a $33,244 Leland project planned for this year will not be done until after Labor Day. The project, which includes upgrades to both River and Lake streets, is being postponed because work is still in progress on Leland Harbor upgrades. Waiting until the tourist season is over will give shop owners and visitors a break from construction, which may hamper business. By Patti Brandt

remaining counties in lower Michigan. The state law applies only to county and municipal roads and streets; it does not include state and federal highways, roads and trails. Each county can tailor its own ordinance and can exclude up to 30 percent of the total linear miles of its county roads. Popa thinks any ordinance passed by Leelanau County should cover all county roads, which would make it easier to enforce, he said. “That means you could drive down the side of any county road, as long as you obey all the laws, and they’re pretty involved,” he said. In 2008 each county was encouraged to redraft existing ordinances — if they had them — as the new law repealed any and all ordinances regarding ORVs. If a county did not have an existing ordinance, it meant that ORVs could not be legally ridden in the county. And that’s where Leelanau County stands. All county-wide ordinances must go before the Leelanau County Planning Commission and have a public hearing before going back to county commissioners for a vote.

problems with ORVs such as large groups of ORV-riders using the roads, complaints from citizens, or damage to roads, Popa said. “I’ll give you $25 if you can drive from here to Alpena and show me a local road that’s tore up by an ORV,” Popa said. One concern Popa has is that people are now riding ORVs illegally. “People are doing it anyway and there are safety concerns,” he said. An ordinance would clarify issues such as the size of the ORV, where they could be driven, the age of drivers and what kind of specific training they would need to have. Popa says under a new ordinance people will be able to use their ORVs to go hunting, fishing or to access their own or their neighbor’s property. Public Acts 240 and 241 cover all counties in northern lower Michigan north of M-10 and in the Upper Peninsula. Another bill is now in the works that would extend the law to the

One Leelanau County road commissioner thinks it’s time for the county to have an off-road vehicle (ORV) ordinance. After all, said John Popa, vice chair of the road commission, Leelanau is the only county in northern lower Michigan that doesn’t have one. Popa plans to present the issue, as well as a copy of the ORV ordinance passed by Kalkaska County in 2009, to the Executive Committee of the Leelanau County Board of Commissioners at its meeting on Tuesday. Kalkaska, Popa said, followed a sample ordinance given by the state of Michigan to all counties in 2008, when it passed Public Acts 240 and 241 to allow individual counties to enact their own ordinances allowing and regulating the use of ORVs on designated roadways. Under that law ORVs can travel on the far right of

roads at speeds of up to 25 miles per hour. And Popa — who owns ORVs — said he is acting as a private citizen in presenting the issue, not as a member of the road commission. “We just need it,” Popa said. “I like to take issues up.” The ORV issue came before county commissioners in 2008 soon after the state laws were passed. Commissioners at that time thought that allowing ORVs to travel on county roads would cause damage to road shoulders and private property, encourage trespassing and cause erosion problems, according to minutes from the Sept. 9 board meeting. Popa said there were also fears that there would be lots of accidents, lots of lawsuits from injuries, and that the ordinance would be too difficult for local police to enforce. Popa has done some research on ordinances that were enacted in Benzie, Kalkaska, Wexford and Grand Traverse counties. Those counties have not had

Lakers earn first district softball title since 2003 By Mike Spencer Of The Enterprise staff

Casey Kahler went all out to win the Division 4 softball title for her Glen Lake teammates. The senior right-hander tossed a no-hitter and struck out six as the Lakers claimed their first district title since 2003 with a 10-0 victory over Suttons Bay on Tuesday. “Casey had a great day,” Glen Lake softball coach Gary Galla said shortly after recovering from a postgame celebration gone wild that resulted in a couple of cuts on his nose. Galla was running away from a bucket he thought was filled with water. Instead it was full of treats. “As the season progressed Casey has gotten better and better. “When she’s on, she’s pretty much unhittable.” “I had a great day, everything was going right,” said Kahler, who almost extended herself beyond her means to preserve the no-hitter in the fourth inning as Veronica Anderson’s blooper between (Concluded on Page 20)

G-L baseball team advances to regionals, beats Norse in final By Alan Campbell Of The Enterprise staff

The fourth district title collected this spring by Northwest Conference baseball teams was somewhat delayed, but appreciated. Glen Lake captured its third district since 2006, and now has its eyes on breaking a drought in regional competition that dates back to 2001. Present coach Kris Herman was an assistant then. He says the 2012 edition of the Lakers have the talent to bring home a regional trophy — depending upon how they play. “The bottom line is we played very good baseball today, physically and mentally,” Herman said Tuesday after his squad put together back-to-back

impressive victories. “And if we play good baseball Saturday, we could do some good things.” Glen Lake is scheduled to take on Buckley at noon Saturday in the second round of Division 4 regional competition; host Frankfort will play Bellaire in a game starting at 10 a.m. The winners will meet in the final in a game expected to begin between 2 and 2:30 p.m. Northwest Conference teams Glen Lake, Frankfort, Buckley and Division 3 Benzie Central all captured district titles. Benzie won the conference, with Suttons Bay claiming second and Buckley and Glen Lake tying for third with 7-5 records. The Bears and Lakers appear on paper to be evenly matched. They split their two regular sea-

son contests. Glen Lake breezed through district play, beating Suttons Bay in a mild upset, 8-1. The Lakers knocked off Traverse City Christian in the first round, 7-1 for the title. The games were cancelled Saturday due to heavy rain. Before storm clouds claimed the day, Suttons Bay advanced with a 9-4 win over Lake Leelanau St. Mary. The delay and having to play back-to-back games didn’t faze Glen Lake. “I was pleased with all phases of the game, starting with the mental side. They prepared mentally,” said Herman. The Lakers jumped out to a 4-0 lead in the first inning against the Norse. Curtis Bunek opened

with a double, and following an error and wild pitch scored on a Thomas Waning single. Trevor Apsey and Austin Odziana also singled in runs; Jordan Hill’s sacrifice fly scored another. “Glen Lake had a big first inning,” Suttons Bay coach Doug Periard said. “They put the ball in a couple of places that we didn’t get to — a deep fly ball and a bunt.” The Lakers went up 6-0 in the top of the second inning on a Dylan Wendel triple and Waning’s double. Suttons Bay, which finished with one hit from seven players, got on the board in the bottom of the second with a single by Jake Kiessel, who (Concluded on Page 19)

district but watched St. Mary walk away with the regional crown. While Hursey likes the thought of reversing the roles with St. Mary in the regional, he’s not counting on it. “We will have to be exceptional to beat St. Mary,” Hursey said. “They have two guys who have shot low scores in tournaments and others who have shot scores in the 70s. “They will be tough to beat at regionals.” Hursey said his team’s regional goal is simple — best one of the top three. “Regionals is about advancing,” he said. “Our goal is to place in the top three and advance to the state ﬁnals. “If we have a good day, we should advance.”

pretty good as to the quality of golf played in the NWC.” The Eagles are likely to be the team to beat in regionals that will be played at River’s Edge Golf Course in Alpena. “We should be the No. 1 seed,” Varley said. “We’ve got the same six teams from our district and six more from the eastern side of the state.” The team to beat from the other district is Laker High, which ﬁnished at 319. The Lakers were 23 strokes better than the rest of the qualifying ﬁeld. “You can only worry about what you can control,” Varley said. “If you try to play golf differently, it’s a recipe for disaster.” A year ago, Glen Lake won the

As expected St. Mary and Suttons Bay golfers went 1-2 in the Division 4 district tournament, advancing to regional action today in Alpena. St. Mary shot a 310. Suttons Bay was next at 327. The biggest surprise, however, was a Glen Lake squad that also earned a spot in the regionals. The Lakers took sixth, one stroke ahead of Lake City, at 359. “We knew going in that it was going to be close with Lake City,” Glen Lake coach Fred O’Brien said. “Getting out of the regional as a team was one of our goals this year and we shot our best round of the year to accomplish that.” St. Mary’s championship effort was led by freshman Joel Sneed, who was medalist with an even par 72. “That score by Joel was really something,” St. Mary coach Jim Varley said. “Around par is pretty special and he was just real steady and took advantage of some par 5s.” Sneed was two strokes better than the nearest competitor. Sneed was 2-under with three holes to play, but finished with back-to-back bogeys. St. Mary senior Paul Bardenhagen shot a 77, tied for third overall. Other St. Mary scores were senior Joe Pendergast (80), junior Ian Duvall (81) and senior Nick Shaffran (86). “We’ve got all five playing pretty well right now,” Varley said. Suttons Bay was led by junior Sean Lammy with a 77. Junior Brent Duddles shot 80, junior Eric Chapman and freshman Devin Capron each carded 85s. “We played well,” Suttons Bay coach Todd Hursey said. “Sean had a solid day, but in general, it was penalty strokes that hurt the other scores.” Wade Peplinski and Andrew Black saved the day for Glen Lake. Black shot a 93 and Peplinski posted a 99, both top personal performances this season. Mike O’Brien led the team with a 78. He was 5-over par after the first six holes but got his game back in order to finish just 6-over. “We just snuck in,” coach O’Brien said. “I’m really proud of our kids and the NW Conference. “We had four teams at the districts. Three qualified for the regional and Mesick had two individuals qualify for regionals. This speaks

Norse reach district finals Six wins and 22 losses. Not a bad year for the return of girls softball at Suttons Bay that began with recruiting kids to play the game for the first time. “It’s kind of gone like I thought it was going to this year,” Suttons Bay head coach Lyle Zenner said this week after losing the district title game Tuesday. “We started out with seven kids and you had to go out in the hallways to get some more. “It pretty much turned out the way I figured it would.” Even after 28 games, Zenner said he hasn’t covered all the bases. “You have to keep coaching and a lot of stuff we haven’t even covered,” Zenner said. The Norse will lose two seniors from this year’s squad — pitcher Keeley Forrester and exchange student Jacqueline May. Forrester, who also started at first base, shared pitching duties with sophomore Jane Hursey. Hursey was the ace of the staff,

St. Mary girls bow out in softball districts Sam Garthe’s first year as head girls softball coach is complete. The Eagles finished 11-24 after Tuesday’s 7-4 loss in the district tournament to Suttons Bay. “I think the season got off slow, but I think we had a good season,” Garthe said. “The kids have grown and improved and picked up a lot of skills. “It’s been a success.” The Eagles gave up five runs in the fifth inning to the Norse.

Rachael Thon had an RBI double in the first inning and added an RBI fielder’s choice in the third. Sarah Popp had an RBI single in the second and Nicole Falkiewicz added a fielder’s choice RBI in the seventh. The Eagles had beaten Suttons Bay three times earlier this season. “We were hitting the ball and had lots of great hits,” Garthe said. “But they were right at people. “It was very frustrating.”

45.91. This team included Michael Alysworth, Parker Kokowicz, Spencer Query and Carter Lee. The same group was 15th in the 800 with a time of 1:35.52. The 1600 relay team had a time of 3:43.32, placing 18th. Individually, Nick Butts ran the 800 in 2:26.8, which was good enough for 18th. The Lakers had relatively young squad this year and hope to build on that without the six seniors who received diplomas Sunday: Maggie Sherman, Friend, Kenyon Fatt, Michael Hubbell, Leif Vander Werff and Luke Wichtoski.

recording 210 strikeouts. The Norse reached Tuesday’s title game by beating St. Mary 7-4 in the first game of the day. Suttons Bay had just five hits. Carla Rivera had an RBI single in the second and Kendall Schaub had an RBI single in the fourth. The Norse hit five times in the fifth for the win. Delaney Kaufman had an RBI double. Forrester followed with an RBI single and and Schaub added another RBI. Zenner said he’s not sure how many players will be back next season. He’s also uncertain if he’ll be the coach again. “I don’t know how many will come back, it’s hard to say,” said Zenner, who initially planned to be the pitching coach but no one was interested in the head coaching position. “But I know it’s going to take a couple of years to get the program going. “I hate to keep on but I have so many pitching prospects. If they don’t have a coach, I’ll probably be back.”

Also departing will be Jack Hanford and foreign exchange student Felipe Toledo. “We’ve got a lot of good kids returning so we definitely have a lot to build on,” Plamondon said. “We’ll still be fairly young, but some kids gained a lot of experience as freshman. They got a lot of at bats and a lot of putouts.” The group is expected to play a lot of summer ball, too, and Plamondon is eager to what will develop next season. For now, he’s happy with the effort the kids gave this year. “Even though the record wasn’t the greatest, the kids were always on time and working hard,” Plamondon said.

“He had Suttons Bay’s hitters gripping the bat tight in those middle innings when we had the lead on them.” Wichern’s inability to get junior catcher Alex Crocker and centerfielder Aaron Orban out also impacted the outcome. The two combined for seven hits and most of the scoring. “Alex was tough on us all year,” Plamondon said. “We just couldn’t get him out. “We tried different stuff ... in and out ... but he just hit the ball hard. He was a good first-pitch hitter.” The Eagles, who started six freshmen and sophomores most of the season, will lose five players.

Coach Steve Plamondon saw his young St. Mary baseball team battle to the end. The only thing better would have been a victory over district runnerup Suttons Bay. But the Eagles, behind the strong arm of senior Lee Wichern, gave the Norse all they could handle before bowing out in the Division 4 district opener, 9-4, on Saturday at Glen Lake. “It was a closer game than the score reflected at the end,” Plamondon said. “We made a couple of mistakes late and they capitalized. “Until the last inning it was a tight game. You can’t ask for more.” The Eagles, who finished the year with a 6-21-1 slate, took a 3-1 lead in their first at-bat thanks to a two-run double by freshman Nate Schwarz and a run-scoring single by Jon VanRaalte. Schwarz added an RBI double in the third to make it 4-2, but the Norse rallied for two in the fourth and fifth and added three in the seventh inning. Leif Mohrman had two hits and two runs scored for St. Mary which managed five hits off winning pitcher Randy Kelty. Senior ace Lee Wichern kept the Norse off-guard until Eagle miscues at the end sealed their fate. “Lee did a very nice job,” Plamondon said. “He gave us a chance to win and that’s all you can.

Playing In Windy Conditions Hi, I’m Logan Price, Head Golf Professional at The Leelanau Club, and my tip for you today is how to prepare for a windy day on the links. Here is how we make that happen: First, we need to learn how to hit a low shot or knock-down shot to help keep the ball out of the wind. Let's start by spending some time on the range hitting ¾ shots with the ball slightly back in our stance and our hands ahead of the ball. Next, use a short back swing where the clubhead stays about shoulder height on the back swing. Then as you swing down and into the ball with a descending strike be sure to follow through and extend your arms and club toward the target but stop the club at about waste

height. This low, abbreviated swing will help flight the ball lower and penetrate through the wind more effectively. Second, be sure to take an extra club and swing much, much easier than normal. I see most amateurs struggle on windy days because they over-swing and try to muscle the ball through the wind. This leads to an increase in backspin which will force the ball higher up into the air. The best method to employ is taking an extra club or two, swing low and easy to a waist high finish and keep the ball out of the air by reducing the amount of backspin the shot has. Third, I always lower my expectations on a windy day. I’ve learned over the years that it can be quite breezy here in Leelanau County, so I play conservative, don’t take any unnecessary risks and try to hit the ball lower and keep it out of the wind to reduce the chance of an errant shot. Stick to these three simple tips and you will be more successful in windy conditions. Good luck!

The Glen Lake girls soccer team played Muskegon Western Michigan Christian even for 100 minutes in the Division 4 regional at Elk Rapids. Then in one-split second, the Lakers’ season was over Tuesday night. The Warriors out-kicked Glen Lake in a double-overtime shootout for a 2-1 victory and a spot in the regional title match today. “I think we completely out-played them,” said Casey McDonough, Glen Lake’s senior midfielder and captain. “The shootout really doesn’t determine who the better team is. “It should have been us, but oh well.” The Lakers managed to overcome a goal by the Warriors’ Rachel Karsten in the opening minutes of the first half to tie the game at 1-all at the first intermission. But neither team could score in the second 40 minutes and the two-10 minute overtimes. The Warriors out-kicked the Lakers 3-2 in the shootout, with McDonough and fellow senior Grace Hubbell finding the back of the net for Glen Lake. Julie Merz, Mykayla Denison and Alexys Riksen scored on the first three kicks for WMC. “It was close, we kept our composure the whole time,” McDonough said. “We played 100 percent the whole time. “And the start, we didn’t know what to expect. I don’t think we were ready but we picked it up after that.” WMC had a chance to end the match with its fifth kick in the shootout, but the kick clanked off the goalpost. Glen Lake’s final shot was wide left. “You never want it to end in a shootout,” said Glen Lake head coach Meg Murphy after the Lakers ended their best season in school’s history with 17-2-2 record. “You want to end it with a win. “Shootouts are hard ... but it’s how soccer games are sometimes determined. It’s unfortunate, but that’s the rules. We would have continued playing if we could.” “Shootouts are the worst,” said Hannah Wichern, Glen Lake’s senior defender. “It doesn’t feel good. “It just didn’t go our way. But I’m proud of our defense. We worked together really good all year.” Glen Lake spotted WMC a goal just two minutes and 15 seconds into the regional semifinal. A low shot by Karsten went to the right of keeper Sophie Ewing. “It’s this field. it happened to us the last time we played here at Elk Rapids,” McDonough said. “But we came back and scored and that was good.” The goal was not Ewing’s fault. “Sophie’s an amazing keeper,”

Casey McDonough almost passed, then had a better second thought. Why not kick the ball on net? The Glen Lake senior midfielder was glad she did. The ball slipped past Traverse City Liberty keeper Logan Poniatoski for the game’s only goal in the rainsoaked Division 4 district championship match at the Coast Guard Field in Traverse City. “My leg has been hurting so I was thinking maybe pass and don’t shoot,” McDonough said. “But I just shot it. “It was kind of low. It slipped in. I’m thinking the wet grass helped it a little.” McDonough’s goal with 21:43 remaining in the second half gave the Lakers a 1-0 victory and a second district crown in three seasons. “I was so excited,” said McDonough, who scored off a short corner kick by fellow senior Grace Hubbell. “Casey has a great shot,” Hubbell said. “So I just passed it out to her and she took it. “I was so excited to see it go in. It felt really good.” Hubbell said the Lakers use the short corner kick when the wind or rain impacts the long kicks. “Grace kicked it short to Case,” Glen Lake head coach Meg Murphy said. “She had a touch, left foot action and a beautiful shot.” The goal enabled Murphy and assistant coaches Andy Smith and Randy Joslin to breath easier. “It was a big relief,” Murphy admitted. “As a coach you want to remain composed and not panic because we knew something was going to fall.” Glen Lake beat Liberty 3-0 in the season-opener but in the district finale, the Lakers had a hard time beating the Liberty defense. “At one point, they had nine players inside the 18,” Murphy said. “That’s why continue to play good soccer and swing it around and switch the fields.

MARK MATSON, Glen Lake’s athletic director, gives keeper Sophie Ewing a big hug after handing out individual medals Saturday after the district title match. “We play it back, play it to the front, play it to the middle and play it out. You just can’t force it.” Liberty ﬁnished the year with a 9-12-1 record. “We got down 1-0, but we never quit ... even having very, very small chances today,” Liberty coach Chris Batchelder said. “They’re a veteran team, full of seniors and our backline is three freshmen. “And veteran play will take over from freshman play every time.” Batchelder credit his keeper for saving the Liberty from a blowout. She stopped 19 shots. Glen Lake keeper Sophie Ewing had one save. “Logan was mind blowing,” Batchelder said. “She saved absolutely everything. “If we didn’t have her back there we would have lost 8-0 ... honestly.” “They played a lot harder this time, but we had the ball like the whole time,” McDonough said. “We couldn’t ﬁnish which is unfortunate.

“We just kept shooting and shooting because we know one is going to go in.” Thanks to one finish by McDonough, the Lakers moved onto the regionals. “It’s so exciting,” McDonough said. “Last year was kind of a downer that we got out in the first round. “This year we wanted to go as far as we could.” “It’s great feeling,” Hubbell said. “I remember being a sophomore and doing it and being a senior it means so much more. “It’s our final year and doing so well has meant a lot to me.” The 17-1-2 Lakers, who beat Leland 3-0 in the district opener, also got past Mason County Eastern last Thursday 2-1. Logan Popp scored an unassisted goal in the first half. McDonough added a second half goal to make it 2-0. Ewing had three saves. “We did not know a lot about Mason County and we quickly learned their determination,” Glen Lake assistant coach Andy Smith said. “It was a tough match, but our girls played their game and kept majority of possession.” “I’m not so sure we showed up to play in the semis,” Murphy said. “We got the goals and then took a step back. But that happens.” There was no stepping back in the district final. “I’m really proud of the girls,” Murphy said. “We’ve worked really hard this year. “Our record shows it, too. We’ve played some really tough teams and I think we’re prepared for regionals.”

Glen Lake’s Jordan Hill singled home a run in the fifth, and the Lakers added an unearned run in the seventh. Winning pitcher Waning struck out nine and didn’t allow a walk. Bunek and Waning singled and doubled in the contest. “That was the fourth time we’ve played, and we had leads on them three times and every time they came back,” Herman recalled. The Christian game was closer early on, tied at 1-1 going into the fourth inning before Apsey singled in the goahead run. Bunek singled, doubled and drove in three runs; Apsey collected 2 RBI with a pair of singles; and Andrew Gutzka had a pair of singles. Odziana tossed a 4-hitter for the win, helping Glen Lake to improve to 25-11 and move closer to setting aside an 11-year regional drought. “We’re going to take a shot at it Saturday,” said Herman. Meanwhile, the Norse are reflecting on a 22-7 season. “Glen Lake definitely came out and beat us. They played great,” Periard said. “But we had a great group of kids that went beyond expectations. “I couldn’t be more pleased.” The Norse will lose two seniors — Sam and Randy Kelty. “Sam and Randy were solid leaders,” Periard said. “I couldn’t ask for two better kids.”

Kahler said with a smile. â&#x20AC;&#x153;But it felt good. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t think that I would have to dive for it. I figured Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d just try to catch it and I ended up going down. I wasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t thinking no-hitter, I just wanted to win.â&#x20AC;? Kahler and Suttons Bay ace Jane Hursey were locked into a duel in the first two innings. The Lakers led 2-0, but only had one hit through two innings and Hursey had retired five of the six outs on strikes. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Hursey is good,â&#x20AC;? Galla said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;You canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t take (anything) away from her. â&#x20AC;&#x153;She throws up in the zone at times and thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s where you can get batters out. I think we were anxious early on. We just had to make sure that when we did get on (base) that we moved them around and scored and thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s what we did.â&#x20AC;? Kari Plevaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s RBI double in the first scored Hannah Schweikart who drew a walk after Hursey retired the first two batters. The Lakers picked up an unearned run in the second on an error, two stolen bases and a wild pitch. In the third, Schweikart had an RBI single and Melanie Kulanda added a sacrifice fly. Glen Lake added two runs in the fourth and completed the mercy contest with four more runs in the top of the fifth. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I figured Glen Lake would win the district,â&#x20AC;? Suttons Bay coach Lyle Zenner said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;They hit the ball. â&#x20AC;&#x153;But I canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t say a lot more. They wouldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t have gotten anything if our kids had caught the balls and didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t throw them away. It would have been a tighter score.â&#x20AC;? Paige Picardâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s two-run triple was the big blow in the fifth. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s nice to win the district,â&#x20AC;? said Picard, who scored three runs to up her season total to 61. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It was really a team effort. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We played well. We came out with intensity. We really wanted to win it.â&#x20AC;? Picard, Schweikart and Pleva each finished with two hits. Not lost in the team effort was Kahlerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s pitching performance and her dive. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Her diving catch was definitely a highlight,â&#x20AC;? Picard said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I knew she had it. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Sheâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s made the plays all year long.â&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s incredible to be district champs,â&#x20AC;? Kahler said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It hasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t happened in so long. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s been a great way to go out. A great senior year.â&#x20AC;? Securing the district title took a couple of extra days as Saturdayâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s schedule was interrupted by rain after the Lakers had pounded Traverse City Christian 20-4. But it was worth it. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It was nice to have that break and come in strong today,â&#x20AC;? Kahler said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;And the weather was great today.â&#x20AC;? The Lakers beat the Sabres in the district opener as Kahler got the win with relief from Tayler Galla and Madison Hill. The trio combined for a two-hitter.

Cheers erupted from the audience at the Scripps National Spelling Bee in Washington, D.C. as Suttons Bayâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Jack Pasche ďŹ nished spelling a word in the third round. Many in attendance rose to their feet to salute the seventh graderâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s effort. He didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t win however. In fact, he had just misspelled the second word given to him â&#x20AC;&#x201D; idiosyncratically, but it was his character and sense of humor that garnered a standing ovation. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I knew the word,â&#x20AC;? the 13-year-old said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I could spell that word 99 out of 100 times, but I rushed. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I was thinking I-D-I-O in my head, but I said â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;I-O.â&#x20AC;&#x2122; You canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t go back or rearrange your letters, so I decided to have fun with it.â&#x20AC;? He did, ďŹ nishing his word with, â&#x20AC;&#x153;Q-R-S-Z-3-Quatro-F-L-D-R-Q,â&#x20AC;? drawing laughter almost immediately. His actions not only helped break the mounting tension inside the Gaylord Hotel and Convention Center at National Harbor, but caught the attention of media outlets across the country. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve been all over the place,â&#x20AC;? Pasche said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Eight different states and a bunch of newspapers. I think I got more positive attention than if I would have spelled the word right.â&#x20AC;? His reach was far greater than expected. In addition to several internet blogs picking up on his story, members of the microblogging service Twitter were â&#x20AC;&#x153;tweetingâ&#x20AC;? his name in their 140-character posts.

â&#x20AC;&#x153;Jack Pasche. Greatest spelling bee performance ever,â&#x20AC;? wrote one Louisiana resident. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Jack Pasche is the man!!â&#x20AC;? wrote another from New York. Indeed, the response was incredibly positive. Unfortunately, Pasche didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t earn a spot on ESPNâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Top Plays, something he was aiming for. The consolation prize though, was equally exciting as he earned a spot on another ESPN program, â&#x20AC;&#x153;Around the Horn.â&#x20AC;? Pasche is happy with his decision to spice up the contest, especially since his misspelling of the prior word â&#x20AC;&#x201D; pilosity, would have kept him out of the next round. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I think it was better that I went out like that,â&#x20AC;? Pasche said. His parents, Jeff and Maria Pasche, are equally proud of his performance. With 11 million students starting spelling bees at the school level, having their son among the 278 that reach the national stage is a true feat. The experience was nerve-wracking as well. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Were were drenched at the regional level,â&#x20AC;? Jeff Pasche laughed. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The national stage was even more impressive. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I was disappointed for him,â&#x20AC;? Jeff said about Jack missing his second word. â&#x20AC;&#x153;But when he pulled that off, and everybody started clapping and standing up, it was crazy.â&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x153;That was the best part,â&#x20AC;? Maria added. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The audience is so tense, nobody saying anything. When he came up with a funny response it cut through everybodyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s tension and that was pretty great for him.â&#x20AC;? The competition was only part of his experience.

Schools benefit from school aid bill By Amy Hubbell Of The Enterprise staff

Public schools in Leelanau County would gain more than $400,000 in additional funding based on a state school aid bill approved by the state House last week. Suttons Bay superintendent Mike Murray was in Lansing yesterday to provide testimony for the Michigan Senate education committee. Both the House and Senate are scheduled to approve the education bill before mid-month. “Nothing is signed. I’m going to testify and to find out where things are,” Murray said Tuesday. On May 31, the House approved a school aid budget that provides an additional $120 per pupil for schools with the lowest base foundation allowance in the state, plus another $121 per pupil to help cover retirement costs and other incentives for performance and an incentive-based program based on suggested “best practices” for districts. For Suttons Bay, which had to make up a $551,000 shortfall in the present budget year, the legislation could mean an additional $226,392 in revenue for the 2012-13 school year. Specifically, the $120 would result in an additional $73,603 in revenue for the district. The contribution toward teacher retirement would mean an additional $77,959 in revenue for 2012-13. A “best practices” allotment of $52 per pupil will provide another $31,895 and performance incentives of $70 per

student, $42,935. “It would certainly help,” said Murray, who is putting the finishing touches on the district’s 2012-13 budget which will be the subject of a public hearing June 25. “We’ll see how this all works out.” Leelanau’s other school dependant directly on SFA — Leland — would gain more than $97,000 in additional revenue next year based on the House action. The biggest chunk of the amount, $51,590, would go toward the district’s payment into the Michigan Public School Employees Retire-

ment System. “Best practices” and “performance” incentives would bring in an additional $45,496. Glen Lake and Northport Public Schools rely on property tax revenue for financial support, but would also benefit from the retirement offset — Glen Lake by $103,093 and Northport by $36,713. “Best practice” and performance incentives would mean an additional $41,228 and $8,180 to Glen Lake and Northport, respectively. All public county school districts must have 2012-13 budgets adopted by June 30.

THE LEELANAU ENTERPRISE

Section 1, Page 23

Sugar Loaf Continued from Page 1 our water supply, and the supposed owner of Sugar Loaf Resort, Kate Wickstrom, is doing absolutely nothing about it,” Mattar said. “Neither is the local health department or the Construction Code Authority.” Mattar added that a lightning strike during a storm late last month also knocked out an electrical system to one of two well houses located near the foot of Sugar Loaf Mountain. At a townhouse owners association meeting on May 27, Mattar said, the decision was made to hire an electrician to fix the problem, and the problem was corrected last week — at the townhouse owners’ expense. “The roofs on both of the well houses are leaking, so we’ll probably have to pay for somebody to fix that too,” Mattar said. He explained that a 2001 Circuit Court order that resulted from a lawsuit involving the head of a corporation that formerly owned the resort, Remo Polselli, grants representatives of the townhouse owners’ association the authority to go onto Sugar Loaf Resort property to inspect electrical and water systems serving the townhouses. Last week, Mattar was joined by townhouse owners association treasurer Tom Jubb in an inspection of the system. Mattar also invited a Leelanau Enterprise reporter, and Clayton Ball, general manager of the Sugar Loaf Mountain Club, to accompany them on the inspection. Earlier this year, the nonprofit Sugar Loaf Mountain Club tried to negotiate an agreement with Wickstrom, allowing the club to offer limited cross country skiing and other outdoor activities on the Sugar Loaf Resort property. Ball said the club’s deal with Wickstrom fell through when she refused to sign a year-long lease, instead insisting on a month-to-month lease. “The problem with a month-tomonth lease is that you can only get the right kind of insurance coverage for this by the year, not by the month, and the annual premium was about $15,000,” Ball said. “We haven’t heard

anything from Kate in quite a while now.” Wickstrom was contacted by an Enterprise reporter seeking her thoughts on the ongoing issues. “First of all, Clayton Ball is a nobody and he shouldn’t be trespassing on my property,” Wickstrom said. “And we’ve called the cops a few times ourselves about vandalism at the resort. “Somebody threw a brick into a window at the resort not long ago, and footprints were found leading right back to the townhouses. The cops are supposed to be investigating that too.” Wickstrom said that members of the townhouse owners association should have called her father, Wally Fryer, to discuss maintenance issues before taking on any projects themselves. Fryer has been primarily responsible for maintaining the resort. Leelanau County Construction Code Authority head Glen Dempsey conducted an inspection of the resort’s interior on April 24. According to Dempsey’s report of the visit, he was met there by Wickstrom, Fryer, and county commissioners Melinda Lautner and Jean Watkoski. In a May 23 letter to Wickstrom, Dempsey wrote: “During the walkaround, it was visible that there were a couple of leaks in the roof but much less interior damage than I expected … During the inspection it was noted of how much vandalism took place, but as an overall view the building was locked-down and secure.” Dempsey also asked Wickstrom in his letter to “take a few minutes to respond again to the concerns and an updated time frame on ... issues to be corrected. As an additional request, could you get back with me on a recently received complaint in regards to your well buildings…” Dempsey said last week he had not yet heard back from Wickstrom. “Well, it took Glen Dempsey a month to send me a letter after his visit, so I’ll get back to him soon enough,” Wickstrom said.

MEMBERS OF the Cedar Rod and Gun Club trap team that captured a state title are, from left, captain Jim Balesh, Lance Morgan, Gerald Storrer, Jess Reed and Bruce Rosema.

Trap shooters take state title Continued from Page 1 114 that competed in Division A. The contest provided five divisions ranging from AA to D. Storrer filled in for regular team member Jerry Bauman of Elmwood Township, who stayed behind to help care for a sick family member. The team competed on a Sunday morning, with Balesh, Storrer and Rosema leading the individual scores by hitting 97 out of 100 birds each. But according to Reed, the day wasn’t so much about individual or even team scores. The event was held at the Michigan Trapshooting Association home grounds in Mason.

“The team shoots are very popular because there is a lot of fellowship and camaraderie there. People get together every fall and every spring, and have for a long time. I think they’ve been doing team shoots for 25 or maybe even 28 years,” he said. The Cedar club team, which has been together for more than a dozen years, has placed first before. But, he had to admit, team members all had good outings. “Sometimes you have good days, and sometimes you have bad days. There is a tremendous psychology to trap shooting; it’s as much a mental game as a physical game,” he said.

It’s a sport that anyone able to hold up a shotgun can enjoy, and one that Reed encourages people to consider taking up. “I’ve shot on squads with 10-yearold kids and 90-year-old men. There is no barrier. It’s a sport for all ages,” he said. Balesh agreed. “It’s a sport that anybody can do, from men and women to the kids. It’s the challenge of the competition, the thrill of shooting birds.” The Cedar Rod and Gun Club is represented by a team with some of the best shooters in the state.

Meningitis claims life of 6th grader Continued from Page 1 teacher and a classmate both had cancer. Allee played with Landers’ son, a sixth grader at Glen Lake. “I keep expecting to look out my window and see her playing basketball, or being the ‘mayor’ in the pretend city (that) she, my son and brother created in our woods,” Landers said. “The city is still there, but it seems strange that Allee will never be there again. I planted wildflowers there Monday night.” Erik Zehender, a member of the board of the rowing club, was floored by news of Allee’s death. “Every time I saw her, I had to give her a hug,” Zehender said. “She was a rock star.” Although not yet a teenager, Allee exhibited great maturity as coxswain of an eight-man scull which competed, most recently in the Forest Hills Regatta, near Grand Rapids, May 12. A coxswain sits in the bow of the boat and navigates the vessel using verbal commands. “Allee was all smiles before she got in the boat, but on the lake she was all business,” Zehender said. “She’d bark orders at eight adult rowers to safely take a 60-foot boat off the rack, into the water and drive all over the lake. There aren’t too many 12-year-olds who could do that.” Zehender said Allee took on what many adults consider an intimidating leadership position. “She wanted to be a doctor and saw rowing as a great way to get scholarship money,” Zehender said. “Everyone loved and admired her.” Rowing coach Ryan Kasley saw great potential in Allee. “As young as she was, Allee was able to command older adults through practice, motivate and guide them,” Kasley said. “She was as good a coxswain as I’ve ever had.” Over the weekend, school officials

contacted parents and students with news of Allee’s death. The health department was also contacted about the illness and parents were sent a letter from department nurse Michelle Klein (see adjacent story). On Monday, teachers and students had an opportunity to share memories about Allee and grief counselors were available to those who sought help. Many of those grieving are high school students who got to know Allee through her involvement in the all-school musical Oliver.

A memorial service is set for 11 a.m. Monday in the gymnasium at Leland Public School. A luncheon will follow in the school cafeteria. A memorial fund has been established in Allee’s name at Huntington Bank. In lieu of flowers, the family has asked that perennials be planted at the school and dedicated in girl’s name. “We’ll miss having her with us,” superintendent Jason Stowe said. “She always had a smile.”

Bacteria common, but rarely causes severe illness Continued from Page 1 the disease presents no particular risk. Klein said that many people routinely carry the pneumococcal bacteria in the back of their nose and throat. Although the bacteria are easy to pass to others through coughing, sneezing and other close contact, it is extremely rare for a healthy person to catch severe pneumococcal disease — even among those who have close contact including household members. “Often the bacteria are completely harmless and do not cause any illness, or may cause mild illness such as ear infections, sore throat, bronchitis or sinus infections,” Klein wrote. “It is rare for the bacteria to move into the meninges (the membranes that surround and protect the brain and spinal cord) and cause meningitis.” Klein said there are no precautions that must be taken by people who had contact with Allee. Early treatment of ear infections and pneumonia caused by pneumococcus may decrease the risk of meningitis. However, once someone develops

symptoms of meningitis it is important to seek medical care immediately. Symptoms of meningitis may come on quickly and include: fever and chills; confusion or changes in mental status; nausea and vomiting; sensitivity to light; severe headache and stiff neck. Many younger children may have received the pneumococcoal vaccine (Prevnar), which is effective to prevent pneumococcus infection. Four doses of this vaccine are typically given to babies between the ages of two months and 18 months. Another vaccine (pneumococcal polysaccharide) is administered to people over 65 years of age and younger individuals at high risk of pneumococcal pneumonia — such as those with heart disease or diseases of the immune system. Most school-age children and adults are not likely to develop severe illness, and therefore vaccination is not recommended for this age group, Klein wrote. Anyone with questions may contact the nurse at 256-0210.

GRADUATES Look back and ahead

Leelanau County Public School graduating seniors were asked to reflect on their formal education years and ahead to the next chapters in their lives. Three of the five say they’ll start college close to home at Northwestern Michigan College in Traverse City. Another is planning to attend Michigan State University. The fifth graduate plans to join the military. Students were asked the following questions: (1) How many years did you attend the school you are graduating from? (2) What are your plans for the next 3-5 years of your life? (3) Are you concerned that the economy will still be in the dumps when you start looking for a job? (4) Are you optimistic about the future of America? (5) Do you feel that your school experience prepared you for the challenges ahead?

1. I’ve been (attending St. Mary) for 13 years. I came out here in kindergarten, and been here ever since.

1. From first through fifth grade I went to Glen Lake. I attended St. Mary for sixth through eighth grades; went to the Leelanau School for ninth grade and came back to Glen Lake for my sophomore through senior years.

2. I will go to school to get my degree in physical therapy. I’ll start out at NMC (Northwestern Michigan College) for the first two years, and go to Grand Valley after that. I have bad knees, and want to help other people with problems. 3. No, I’m not worried much. I feel in the next couple years the economy should, at least slowly, build itself up to the way it was a few years ago. We aren’t, obviously, as big of a power as we were before. As we develop new technologies, America will get back on top — hopefully. 4. Yes. I feel that America, even though we’ve hit a rough patch, will work itself through to get back to the way it was. I feel that the new presidents we’ll elect through the years will turn things around. That seems to be the main focus right now, getting America going again. It will take awhile, but it will get back. 5. The school has gotten me ready. It’s got small classes that allow interaction with the teacher, and they actually care if you pass or fail. It’s nice that the teachers get to know you by name, so you are not just another student in the classroom. This is a good place to go to school.

2. I plan on being a radio operator in the United States Marine Corps. I’ve enlisted for four years and ship out for San Diego a little more than a week after graduation date. 3. I want to see how the Marine Corps goes. I may make it a career. I don’t know about the economy. 4. Yes, I think right now we’re at a low point but we’ll get our things back in order and things will start getting better. 5. Yes and no. I have a basic knowledge but not as much about life.

1. 13 years.

2. I plan to go to Michigan State University to study human biology and hopefully get into med school.

2. After graduation, I plan to attend Northwestern Michigan College and study accounting. I plan to transfer to Ferris State University and get a degree in accounting and become an accountant.

2. My plan is to be done with my basic courses at NMC and to transfer to Florida State to study marine biology. I’ve been interested in marine life since I was little. Photography also interests me, so I’d like to incorporate that into my study. I’d like to be able to make a difference.

3. I am a little bit, but I know that jobs in the health services will always be in demand. 4. I’m fairly optimistic. I think that the worst has already come and we can only go up from here. Things can only get better. 5. I’ve been able to take a pretty wide selection of honors classes that have helped me be ready to take the next step in college.

3. I’m a little bit concerned. But my hope is that it will be better when I start looking for a job. 4. Absolutely yes! 5. Yes I do. Northport has taught me so much. The teachers are there when you need them. I got all the attention I needed from all the staff. I think the school has close connections. I know of a Northport grad at MSU who said their senior project helped them in college.

3. Yes, it’s concerning that I may not be able to find a job in my field when I graduate. There’s a lot of pressure put on everyone when you spend all that time and money in school. 4. Yes, I am optimistic about the future because we’ve been able to pull through issues like depressions, wars and the possibility of world ending events before. 5. Yes, school has prepared me for the challenges ahead. One of my teachers for example, Mrs. Fowler, always pushed me to do well in the classroom and helped me improve things I was lacking in like study habits.

ANDY BOSSARDET of Glen Arbor is a 27-yearold Pastor at Glen Lake Community Reformed Church.

Members of Elmwood Township’s Parks and Recreation Committee will meet again next Wednesday, June 13, to finalize work on an updated fiveyear Parks & Recreation Plan for the township. Township supervisor Jack Kelly reported that the committee met at a rescheduled May 30 meeting to review the plan prior to making it available for a mandatory 30-day public comment period. “Tax bills are also going out during this period, so we plan to include a newsletter with tax bills that will ask residents to weigh-in on the updated Parks & Rec Plan,” Kelly said. He said that a proposal to establish a “dog park” on a portion of Cherry Bend Park is a popular idea, but a newsletter item will remind residents that monetary donations are being sought to make the new the park a reality. In the meantime, Kelly said, the automobile parking situation at Cherry Bend Park has improved during Little League baseball games thanks to a decision by the township board this spring to open a vacant field at the park for parking. He said that signage and appeals to baseball fans spread throughout the Little League organization have resulted in far fewer cars parking unsafely along Cherry Bend Road shoulders. Members of the Parks and Recreation Committee also learned last week that work was beginning to provide an additional restroom at the township’s Greilickville Harbor Park. Meanwhile, township officials are expecting to close later this month on the acquisition of part of the former Brewery Creek development to add a parking area for the township marina. Kelly said that officials were carefully monitoring a grant proposal forwarded to the U.S. Department of Agriculture that would help the township pay for a traffic study along the M-22 commercial corridor as part of a master plan to improve the marina. He said the township may also apply for “2-percent” casino revenue funding from the Grand Traverse Band of Ottawa and Chippewa Indians to help pay for the study. The township Parks and Recreation Committee last week also welcomed new member Jann Hines who was appointed to a three year term on the committee by the township board last month. Hines is employed at Tree and Shrub Care Landscape Design & Maintenance in Traverse City, Kelly said.

Wednesday and Thursday; and Fridays, 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. At this week’s personnel committee meeting, township supervisor Jack Kelly presented an employee evaluation he’d recently completed on Leonard and recommended that Leonard’s pay be increased from $23 per hour to $25 per hour. The increase was to be retroactive to April 20 when

Leonard’s 90-day probationary period ended. Township treasurer Debbie Street and clerk Connie Preston joined Kelly in voting to recommend that the township board award Leonard the pay raise. The full township board is expected to act on the recommendation at its next regular monthly meeting Monday night.

Planner/zoning administrator in line for pay hike Elmwood Township officials like their new planner and zoning administrator so much they think they’d like to keep him — and give him a pay raise. Members of the township’s personnel committee met Monday afternoon to discuss an evaluation of professional planner Dan Leonard’s performance in his first 90 days on the job. More than three months ago, Leonard replaced David Neiger who had served for several years in the position. Neiger resigned earlier this year to work closer to his home in Benzie County. Leonard has been working fulltime as a zoning administrator and planner for Grand Traverse County’s Peninsula Township and earlier this year agreed to work part-time for Elmwood Township as well. He is generally available at Elmwood Township from 5:30 to 7:30 p.m. each Tuesday,

VonVoigtlander to run against Steffens for V-C presidency Trustee Barb VonVoigtlander announced this week that she plans to return for president of the Northport Village Council. VonVoigtlander, who has served nine years on the Council, will oppose incumbent president Fred Steffens. The two have been at odds with each other on several Council issues and votes since Steffens was elected in November 2010. customary. He also recommended the default clauses include an award of attorneyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s fees to the village because an involuntary termination would require the acquisition of a court order. Schiffer, who is the engineer on a number of Northport projects, expressed similar concerns on the lease in an unsolicited written report. He also questioned if the village should be obligated to take final ownership â&#x20AC;&#x153;as-is.â&#x20AC;? Schiffer said it didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t seem proper that private investors were permitted to receive a guaranteed profit through use of public items paid by others and the selling of their product to beneficiaries at no net savings. Many of the same concerns of Davison and Schiffer were expressed by a handful of people who showed up at a special meeting on March 22 on the wind turbine lease. The group, led by Schobel, said the village was not sufficiently protected under the lease. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Once I had this memo from Davison, I realized that Schobel and Dave Nelson and others were onto to

:LQH 1RW"

Von Voigtlander said Tuesday that she planned to pick up petitions this week to run for the presidency. Steffens had already picked up his petitions a month ago. Deadline for submitting petitions to run is Aug. 14. Trustee Steve Weatherbee said he plans to run for re-election. Trustee Bill Brendel has not decided yet, but indicated heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s considering going for another four-year term. something,â&#x20AC;? Steffens said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;And I felt something had to be done. It was just too loose.â&#x20AC;? Since becoming aware of the analysis, Steffens has worked with Doug McInnis, president of the LCE, to amend the lease. Several items were since agreed to. The final sticking point is how much money the group will put in escrow for decommissioning the turbine. McInnis is expected to have that number soon. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I wasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t going to hold them (LCE) up ... itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a green thing,â&#x20AC;? Steffens said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I still donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t have a big opinion on whether the turbine will ever be a benefit to the village, but I just want a guarantee that the taxpayer is insulated from any liability.â&#x20AC;? Wetherbee also noted that while it appeared Steffens was taking a stance against the wind turbine, he was not. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Fredâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s stance is more cautionary that most of us,â&#x20AC;? he said. McInnisâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; group had paid for the Davison analysis and received a copy of it back in 2010.

FRED STEFFENS, left, incumbent president of the Northport Village Council, will face a November challenge from trustee Barb VonVoigtlander.

5-24-12

A Northport Village attorneyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s confidential analysis of a proposed wind turbine site lease two years ago, indicating that there were some fundamental issues that needed to be discussed before signing it, was not discussed or brought up prior to a Council vote last year approving the lease. The six-page memo resurfaced last month after Village attorney Will Davison met with Village president Fred Steffens to review the lease signed on June 9, 2011, with the forprofit Leelanau Community Energy, LLC. Construction of the windmill is expected to begin this month. The analysis was initially sent to trustee Barb VonVoigtlander with copies also sent to Greg King, the villageâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s administrative coordinator, and engineer Jim Schiffer of the Schiffer Group. It was also given to trustees at a regular Council meeting on Aug. 5, 2010. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I was the conduit for the former Council to receive that,â&#x20AC;? VonVoigtlander said at the last regular meeting on May 17 when a Freedom of Information Act request for that memo and analysis was requested by Northport resident Ron Schobel and approved. â&#x20AC;&#x153;But it was given out to every council member.â&#x20AC;? Current board members Steve Wetherbee and Bill Brendel, served in 2010. They didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t recall reading the analysis. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Most of us thought that the wind turbine group had lost momentum,â&#x20AC;? Wetherbee said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;And Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m afraid that whatever came through back then was forgotten. â&#x20AC;&#x153;And with the new Council started up, it slipped through.â&#x20AC;? Davison informed Steffens that he did not recommend approval of the lease and showed him his analysis. Davisonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s memo, noted as of high importance and requesting a meeting with VonVoigtlander and Schiffer, recommended discussion among Village officials before the final editing of a lease agreement. â&#x20AC;&#x153;In short, the concept of the Village encumbering conceivably strategic tower real estate for 20 years, with no meaningful consideration, is an issue that needs to be addressed at the outset,â&#x20AC;? Davison wrote. In his analysis, Davison noted that current Michigan law allows for the leasing of real estate provided it is for adequate consideration or for a purpose that benefits the municipality. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Accordingly, an initial concern is raised with the annual rent of $500 to tie up village real estate for 20 years, with no apparent corresponding benefit to the village other than the privilege of purchasing an age (and perhaps obsolete) wind turbine during the lease, or acquiring one at no charge for 20 years,â&#x20AC;? Davison noted. He also recommended the village undertake an analysis to determine the benefits to the village. Davison outlined concerns with seven other items including posting a performance or cash bond to cover the removal or disposal of the tower and that a cost of living allowance was

Leland fire inspection scores 100 The Leland Township Fire and Rescue Department has passed its annual inspection with flying colors, receiving a score of 100 percent compliance. Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s good news for a department thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s seen turmoil over the last several months, and itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s good news for the community, as now the department is licensed to deliver LALS (limited adult life support) services on a permanent basis. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Hats off to all the guys,â&#x20AC;? said Geoff Niessink, who on May 25 was named interim acting chief of the department. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m very excited and very proud of the guys that were responsible,â&#x20AC;? Cal Little, chairman of the Leland Township Fire Board, said at Tuesdayâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s regular meeting. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I think itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a very good thing for this community. That allows us to continue to provide the services that we have been providing for the last two years.â&#x20AC;? For the last four years it has been making LALS runs on a twoyear temporary license which had been extended once for another two

years. During that time the department has worked to bring all of its equipment and staff licenses up to compliance. The temporary license expired on May 31. Under an LALS license services such as cardiopulmonary resuscitation, monitoring and defibrillation; advanced airway management and intravenous therapy may be provided. The care is a step above Basic Life Support and under Advanced Life Support services. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It will provide our residents and visitors with a higher level of care,â&#x20AC;? Little said. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s long been in the works ... itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a great accomplishment. It was a lot of work. Everyone did their job and weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re proud of the department.â&#x20AC;? Fire and rescue departments are normally inspected once a year, but are subject to unscheduled inspections at any time. Done by the Michigan Department of Community Health â&#x20AC;&#x201D; EMS & Trauma Systems Section, inspectors look at the vehicle to make sure it is stocked with everything needed for and LALS run, such as endotracheal tubes, IV catheters and defibrillator pads. They also look at the agency, check-

ing things such as policies, insurance, records and documented training on equipment the rig carries. In other business the Fire Board voted unanimously to pay interim acting chief Geoff Niessink $26 per hour up to 40 hours per week. The pay is based on a formula using former fire chief Michael Fandelâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s base pay of $55,000 per year and the number of hours he worked. Niessink reported that he has been busy sorting through boxes of paperwork dropped off by Fandel, who recently resigned, to get up to speed on the department. Heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s also working on getting firefighters fitted for new turnout gear. The board also approved sending an agreement with the Suttons Bay-Bingham Fire & Rescue Authority to the Suttons Bay Township Board for approval at its meeting on Monday. Under the agreement, the Suttons Bay-Bingham department will be available to the Leland department 24 hours per day, seven days per week for Advanced Life Support services. In return, Leland will pay $7,500 per year, plus a per run â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;interceptâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; fee.

Binghamâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s annual meeting Saturday By Eric Carlson Of The Enterprise staff

Bingham Township will hold its annual meeting Saturday at 10 a.m. at the Bingham Township Hall, located in the historic Bingham Schoolhouse on the corner of Center Highway (County Road 633) and Bingham Road (County Road 618). Unlike every other township in Leelanau County, Binghamâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s fiscal year coincides with those of most school districts, ending each June 30. As a result, Bingham Township holds its annual meeting in June rather than March which is customary in most townships. Residents of Bingham Township

A request for 2 percent Tribal Gaming funds was endorsed this week by the Kasson Township Board. The board voted 5-0 Monday night to support a request from the CedarMaple City Lions Club which would assist the group in equipping its community building to serve as a Red Cross emergency shelter. Pat Hobbins represented the Lions who are seeking a 50 percent matching grant for $4,650 which will allow the group to install an â&#x20AC;&#x153;emergency power plantâ&#x20AC;? which would be used in situations such as this yearâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s late winter storm which left many in the county without power and heat for days.

hearing on a draft budget for the new fiscal year beginning July 1. At its regular monthly meeting in May, the board finalized work on a draft $373,781 spending plan for the new fiscal year based on anticipated revenues of $351,080, leaving a deficit of more than $20,000 and drawing down part of an estimated $140,000 reserve fund. Township supervisor Ross Ard said the draft budget may be modified yet again based on public input at Saturdayâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s hearing. The board is slated to consider adopting a budget plan for the upcoming fiscal year at its next regular monthly meeting on Monday, June 18. Ard added that those in attendance at Saturdayâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s meeting can also expect to hear â&#x20AC;&#x153;state of the townshipâ&#x20AC;? briefing from him, as well as reports from the townshipâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Planning Commission, its Parks and Recreation Committee, and other township officials.

At its regular monthly meeting in in April, the township board adopted salary resolutions that propose no pay raises for elected officials, keeping pay rates at the same level as the past several years. If the salary resolutions as presented are approved by township voters in attendance, the township supervisorâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s pay would remain at $15,000 per year; the treasurerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s at $23,050; the clerkâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s at $22,341; and the two trustees at $1,558 each per year. In most years, township residents may vote only to keep pay levels the same, or award pay raises. During an election year such as 2012, however, township residents in attendance at annual meetings may also vote to reduce pay for elected township officials. The meeting will also include a

Library offers special help with genealogy The Leland Township Library is offering free access to a genealogy website and will host a genealogy workshop next Thursday, June 14, to help kick off the availability of the new resource. Sylvia Mertz, library director, said the workshop “Researching Your Family Tree with Ancestry Library Edition,” will begin at 7 p.m. The workshop will explore one of the largest and most popular databases available to researchers. Topics include key resources, such as the U.S. Census, vital records, and passenger lists, and

successful search strategies for finding information on your family. Kris Rzepczynski, the Michigan Coordinator at the Library of Michigan, will be the presenter. The past president of the Mid-Michigan Genealogical Society, Rzepczynski has presented at national and state conferences, including for the National Genealogical Society, the Federation of Genealogical Societies, Public Library Association, Historical Society of Michigan, and for dozens of local genealogical societies. Mertz said genealogy is one of the fastest growing hobbies in the nation

and “Ancestry.com,” one of the most popular website will be available free for registered Leland library patrons. “This is a fairly expensive annual data base subscription that we are offering because of the high number of requests for it that we’ve been getting from our patrons,” Mertz said. As one of the fastest growing hobbies, we felt that it was well worth the investment as an added resource locally” For more information on the new program or workshop, stop in at the library, located at 203 E.

WATER LEVELS in Lake Michigan went up one inch between April and May and were about two inches below levels seen during the same period last year. Levels were about 17 inches below long term average levels recorded between 1918 and 2011. Precipitation over the Lake Michigan was “below average” in May, according to a report released this week by the Army Corps of Engineers hydrology office in Detroit. Hydrologists predict the lake will continue its seasonal rise through July and then begin its seasonal decline in August. Water levels are expected to be 18 to 19 inches below the long term average through November, and range four to six inches below last year’s levels.

The Northport Youth Sailing School (NYSS) will begin its fourth year of classes on July 9. The NYSS has added a fifth week of instruction for the 2012 season. Between 150-170 students are expected for the upcoming season. Class sessions are one week in length and are either morning or afternoon. Children aged 8 to 16 are eligible. The goal of the sailing classes is for each child to have positive early experiences on the water while sailing. The primary goals are building confidence, ensuring safety, demonstrating respect, courtesy toward others, and developing good teamwork. During the one-week session, novice sailors learn basic nomenclature, seamanship and sailing skills. Fun sailing games and other skill-related activities are incorporated into the course. Upon completion of the course, students should feel comfortable sailing alone in an Optimist dingy. Last year’s instructors have all signed on for another season. Lead instructor Dustin Webb will handle the beginner’s classes, Delvon Napier will teach the intermediate classes, and Becca Halstedt will be the advanced sailing instructor. All instructors are USA Sailing certified and have extensive personal sailing experience. The school has expanded its fleet of boats to 13 Optis, five Laser Picos, and two Lasers. The fleet sails off South Beach near the Northport Marina. Classroom sessions are held at the Sailing School (east end of the Visitor Center) and at the Boathouse on South Beach. Each weekly session ends with a family picnic and regatta on Friday

GRADU DAY

Seniors from Glen Lak Suttons Bay and St. Mary received diplomas at cerem weekend. Coverage of t commencement can be foun The Leland graduation cer held Friday at 7 p.m.

PRIOR TO filing into the gymnasium Glen Lake students gathered for a few photos. Pictured from left are Sophie Ewing, Casey McDonough and Logan Popp.

Sixty-six recognized at Glen Lake Friends and family crowded the Glen Lake gymnasium to congratulate the 66 members of Glen Lake’s Class of 2012 which received diplomas Sunday. Class members filed into the gym as Pomp and Circumstance was played by the high school band, directed by John Kumjian. Teachers Agnes Carter, Lisa Nadlicki and Anna Wassa were asked to reflect on the Class of 2012 as they passed through the school system. Carter, a fifth grade teacher, spoke on the elementary years. Nadlicki, who teachers seventh and eighth grade reading and art, spoke about the class as they progressed through middle school. And Wassa, a high school English teacher, the high school years. Glen Lake did away with identifying a valedictorian two years ago. Therefore, there was no valedictory address. Instead, seniors were asked to submit proposed speeches which were chosen to be delivered before the audience. Jordan Hill and Kenyon Fatt gave more serious addresses while Patrick Kenwabikise took a whimsical approach, cracking a “Monster” energy drink to propose a toast to the graduating class. Four students who have enlisted in the military service were also recognized. They are Luke Wichtoski, Jimmy Murphy, Leif Vander Werff and Kenwabikise.

CHELSIE WACK, who had a difficult senior year while battling multiple sclerosis, embraces her mother, Jennifer, at Northport’s graduation ceremony Friday night.

EVEN THE message on the scoreboard reflected good wishes during Sunday’s send off for the class of 2012.

Seven students graduated from Northport Public Schools on Friday night. About 300 people attended the 90-minute ceremony for the smallest class in the school’s history. Valedictorian Nina Muller and salutatorian John Petoskey gave addresses as did senior Francis Wanageshik. All three suggested their class survived a lot of internal wars and battles through the years, but reached their goals of graduating. All three thanked staff, teachers, parents and the community for their support. Senior Megan Henderson introduced the commencement speaker, Tom Wetherbee. “Mr. B”, as he was affectionately called by students, talked

T NO I‘d rather er be m mowing

about some of his early life failures that led to a very successful 35 years of teaching at Northport. He suggested failing to get to a chosen mountain top or career is common. Although he didn’t suggest changing majors four times like he did in college, he offered tips like volunteering to work in a workplace or getting an internship in their chosen fields to get an edge. “Never never beat yourself up if you tried and it didn’t work,” he said. Wetherbee closed his speech by reminding students that the teachers and the community supported their efforts. “All the prodding and nagging ends now, but the affection and love does not,” he said.

Suttons Bay honors 60 seniors The Suttons Bay High School Class of 2012 appears ready to do something remarkable, as their class motto proclaims. Written on a huge banner hung above the 60 graduating seniors, the Wendy Wasserstein quote announces, “Don’t live down to expectations, go out there and do something remarkable.” Every seat in the school gymnasium was taken as proud friends and family crowded in to celebrate this class’s liberation from school, though

most of them will face another few years behind desks as they go on to college. Senior Bridgette Kulpa brought a few people to tears with her singing of “The National Anthem,” and the Suttons Bay Band, under the direction of Emily Morgan, played the senior selection, “In This Quiet Place,” by Robert Sheldon, as well as the standard “Pomp and Circumstance.” Speeches were given by class valedictorian Julia Paige and salutatorian

Charlotte Seeley, as well as by Superintendent Michael Murray. Senior class president Autumn Reyhl introduced graduation speaker Lynne Rae Perkins, an acclaimed children’s author and illustrator and the mother of graduate Frank Perkins. And last, but not least, senior roll call was done by Principal Raphael Rittenhouse with presentation of diplomas by Board President Steve Hall.

THE GLEN Arbor Summer Singers practice prior to last yearâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s August concert. Rehearsals begin again on June 19. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We must all have a lot of family members,â&#x20AC;? she added jokingly. Though the groupâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s position within the community is concrete, Kuhl understands that there will be some challenges ahead. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s about relationships,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The biggest challenge is that they donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t know me and I donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t know them.â&#x20AC;? Heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s conďŹ dent, however, that this will be easily overcome. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Once rehearsals begin, weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll have plenty of time to get to know one another,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;And the vehicle that will bring us together is music.â&#x20AC;? Tuesday rehearsals for the Summer Singers will begin June 19 at the Glen Lake Community Reformed Church, culminating with their free concert on Aug. 7.

When Dick DeVinney retired as director of the Glen Arbor Summer Singers, Karen Ford and other members put their heads together to come up with a solution. Their choice was cool. Patrick Kuhl (pronounced â&#x20AC;&#x153;coolâ&#x20AC;?) that is, who will take over when rehearsals begin in two weeks. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s very exciting to be able to work with Patrick,â&#x20AC;? said Ford, president of the Board of the Glen Arbor Summer Singers. â&#x20AC;&#x153;With his background in music, heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll have a lot of new ideas to offer.â&#x20AC;? Kuhl has taught music for 35 years, beginning in Detroit before taking his talent to the Troy School District, where he currently teaches. A summer resident of Northport, heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s been actively involved in the county, playing organ for the Omena Presbyterian Church since 1993. He also taught music and drama at the Learning Center in Leland. Heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s excited to start with the singers and get involved in a group he feels represents a strong community. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The residents just like to get together and sing,â&#x20AC;? Kuhl said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;That creates a positive atmosphere throughout the area. Groups like this are great community building blocks.â&#x20AC;?

Ford expressed similar thoughts. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s nice to have something like this,â&#x20AC;? she said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re all volunteers, so itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s really just about coming together, building relationships and singing.â&#x20AC;? Entering their 10th year, the Summer Singers are a group composed of community members who are driven by one thing â&#x20AC;&#x201D; the enjoyment they get from coming together to sing. The group generally sees between 40 and 70 members throughout rehearsals, with an average of about 50 opting to perform in the annual concert. Song choices provide a variety of genres, but the majority is a mixture of secular and religious music, Ford said. This year, the singers will honor the very state they reside in. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Our songs will be a nod to the 175th anniversary of Michigan,â&#x20AC;? Kuhl said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll have our own mixture of spirituals, as well as patriotics.â&#x20AC;? Community support for the singers has been incredibly positive in the past, according to Ford. Though they only perform publicly one time during the summer, the group of volunteers has had little problem attracting an audience, usually seating between 200 and 300 at the Glen Lake Community Reformed Church in Burdickville. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s great,â&#x20AC;? said Ford. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The church is ďŹ lled when we do our concert, everybody seems to love it.

His technique is described as â&#x20AC;&#x153;painterly,â&#x20AC;? emphasizing each brush mark that goes into the painting. It is, after all, a hand painted object and Gordon wants that to be evident. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t want it to look like a photograph,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;With watercolor, all the brush marks just soak into the surface, but with acrylic the marks hold and are visible.â&#x20AC;? As his exhibit comes to an end, concluding on June 17, Gordon urges everyone to take a moment to view his work before itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s taken off of display. The connection between people and Gordonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s art is prominent, as they are important pieces in the museum depictions and appearing throughout the city scenes. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Scenes with people are very interesting to me,â&#x20AC;? he ďŹ nished. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a democratic aspect to it.

A blonde woman leans toward the Seurat painting to examine each dot of color closely. In the back row, an older gentleman looks on intently, arms held behind him. These arenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t just museum visitors however, they are subjects that inspire Harvey Gordon to paint. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Certain subjects seem to move me more toward painting more than others,â&#x20AC;? Gordon said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The inspiration for my paintings comes from my life â&#x20AC;&#x201D; things that I see in the normal course of my life.â&#x20AC;? For nearly 50 years, the Glen Arbor resident has been depicting images from his everyday life. From home interiors to city streets, Gordonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s connection to the world around him has earned him several awards, commercial success and exhibitions in both New York and Michigan. The most recent exhibit began in April at The Dennos Museum in Traverse City. Gordon grew up in Flint and attended Mott Community College as well as the University of Michigan. He received his Bachelor of Fine Arts (BFA) from the Cranbrook Academy of Art and earned a fellowship at the University of North Carolina where he received his Master of Fine Arts. He spent 30 years teaching art, spending the bulk of that time at Glen Oaks Community College, south of Kalamazoo. He and his family vacationed in Glen Arbor for 26 years before permanently moving in 2004. Originally trained in oil painting, Gordon began using acrylic paint once it became more widely available in the 60â&#x20AC;&#x2122;s. This current exhibition features street scenes of New York and Washington D.C., as well as scenes from Leelanau County and Traverse City. The bulk though are of people looking at art. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The greatest number of one subject is people in museums looking at other paintings, generally by artists I admire,â&#x20AC;? Gordon said. Gordon pays close attention to details from beginning to end, carefully constructing various layers that will blend together to create brilliant colors and impressively accurate details. His process starts with a reference photo, which he takes and develops himself. From this point, he begins crafting his piece. His surface is museum board made of 100 percent rag (cotton ďŹ ber) to help prevent decomposition over time. Before drawing his shapes, he applies gesso to seal the surface. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I actually paint on the gesso which I sand very smooth so nothing impedes the movement of the brush,â&#x20AC;? Gordon said. From here he draws with a pencil, the shapes to be painted, ďŹ lling them with successive layers of color. The ďŹ rst layers to be applied are black and white followed by the three primary colors â&#x20AC;&#x201D; red, yellow and blue, that are ap-

GULL ISLAND, off Northport Bay, circa 1950.

The little island in Northport Bay that is currently named Gull Island is a curiosity. (Years ago it was called Bellow Island.) It has always been a home for hundreds of seagulls. It used to be an attractive looking island, with several large trees, and wide beaches. Harvard Professor Lee Ustick bought the island in 1910, and soon had Byron Woolsey of Northport build the house that today is completely tumbled down. Woolsey built the structure by hauling lumber and building supplies over the water, and in winter, over the ice. (I remember being told that back in the 1800s and early 1900s, the bay froze over much more often than it does now. And I personally remember that in the 1930s and 40s that was the case). The house was successfully built, but never permanently occupied. Ustick was the ﬁrst to try to live there, but he had constant war with gulls that was always won by the birds.

There are many colorful local tales that tell of the Ustick family’s struggles with the gulls. They tried many schemes to ﬁght the gulls ... one time they brought skunks, in an attempt to wipe out the gulls’ eggs. (Gulls’ nests are on the ground). That didn’t work at all, and only added the terrible skunk aroma! Then they brought foxes out to the island, but the gulls ganged up on the foxes and killed them! The Usticks thought maybe snakes would attack the nests, but they never really tried that method. (Hard to believe they’d try skunks but not snakes.) But the gulls always ganged up on the predators and always won the battles. Eventually, the birds won out and the people abandoned the island. The house remained until the 1950s, but slowly disintegrated over the years until today only the two ﬁreplace stone chimneys still stand. So the gulls also did a number on the house over the decades. In the 1960s another invader came to the island. Cormorants began to dwell on the island. The interesting thing is that the seagulls and the cormorants

seem to maintain a synergistic way of getting along with each other. The gulls have their nests on the ground and the cormorants nest in the trees. But the sheer number of nests in the trees slowly killed the trees. The nests were like hanging pockets that seemed to be a trap for petrifying guano. The trees slowly died, and in the 1990s sometime, the last one fell. In the 1960s Herbert Yost, a Great Lakes Captain, purchased Gull Island and planned to use it as a family retreat. Those plans never came to fruition either. Yost had the same result as Ustick. He ﬁnally gave the island to his daughter, who eventually put it on the market in 1989. With all the attempts to utilize the island, and the obvious disruptions of the gulls’ nesting colonies, the Leelanau Conservancy began negotiations to purchase the island. In the fall of 1994, the Conservancy reached an agreement with the owners. The purchase was completed in 1995, and now this piece of local history will be permanently protected.

In the 1940s, when I was a teenager, I and a bunch of other kids took our small outboard motor boats out to Gull Island to try to play war. We tramped through all the smelly bird guano, as we ran around. The gulls would attack us, and when it got to be too much for us, we headed for our boats and left again. We had fun (but our mothers weren’t happy when we tracked the dirt into our homes!)

tracted big crowds of tourists, Leelanau County came through the Memorial Day weekend relatively unscathed. There were four reported personalinjury road mishaps, but no fatalities or drownings. *** Fifty-nine seniors at Suttons Bay High School received diplomas in 1977 graduation exercises last night, and 127 seniors in six other high schools in Leelanau County are to be awarded sheepskins in upcoming ceremonies. The total number of in-county graduates this year is 46 fewer than in 1976. *** An experimental purse seine operated by the Leland Fish Co. netted about a ton of whitefish in Grand Traverse Bay off Leelanau County’s Northport Point on Tuesday. The Leland Fish Co. will be allowed to market the whitefish to help recover the cost of buying, rigging and operating the Argo and the net-hauling vessel. 60 YEARS AGO June 5, 1952 An outburst of fireworks Tuesday night at Cedar brought a warning from Sheriff Robert White that he will “crack down” this year on any person shooting, having in possession, or transporting fireworks, all of which are unlawful in Michigan. Only organized groups are permitted to have fireworks displays. *** United States Army Engineers in Washington this week notified Senator Blair Moody that the cost of the proposed sheet piling along the inner sides of Leland breakwater will be approximately $127,000. Colonel George Kumpe, Division Engineer at Milwaukee, in a letter to Karl Detzer, stated that there were no funds available this year but that he was recommending the improvement be funded in the 1953 budget. It is problematical whether the old breakwater will last that long. *** Circuit Judge Howard Campbell at Beulah Monday imposed fines and costs totalling more than $2,000 against three Leelanau County men whose deer shining expedition last week ended in the shooting of two cows owned by Nicholas Miller of Oviatt.

5 YEARS AGO June 7, 2007 Rob Sirrine is coming home to northern Michigan. The 1992 Traverse City Central graduate has been selected to replace retired Michigan State University Leelanau Extension director Jim Bardenhagen. Sirrine reports for duty Aug. 1. *** Differences of opinion whether furnaces and water heaters were installed properly at the BayView condominium complex in Suttons Bay have contributed to the firing of the head of Leelanau County’s Building Inspections Department, Robert VanDyke. County administrator David W. Gill said Tuesday that he fired VanDyke for a long list of reasons, not the least of which involved problems related to inspections of the BayView condos. *** Matthew Johnson, 29, his 25-yearold wife, Sarah, and their 8-month-old son, Harrison, were pulled from the wreckage of a home at 5663 E. Hoxie Rd. that exploded about 5:30 Saturday afternoon. The apparent cause: a propane gas leak. 10 YEARS AGO June 6, 2002 Charles Mervau is likely the oldest ever graduate of Northport High School. His journey to graduate has taken 58 years. Mervau, 76, will cross the stage with 11 other Northport graduates, fulfilling a lifelong dream. He was pulled from school his senior year to be inducted into the service. *** County planners agreed unanimously to form a joint committee with county representatives aimed at “exploring planning alternatives” which would allow the county and township to maintain facilities in the unincorporated village of Leland. *** Bears have become a nuisance this spring, ravaging beehives and even taking a chicken from its pen. Beekeeper Dave Nesky of Bingham Township has a theory that due to large amounts of rain the bears are being pushed out of swamps. He is hoping for relief from the state, which in such circumstances can live trap nuisance bears for placement in more remote areas. 35 YEARS AGO June 2, 1977 Despite summery weather which at-

Farmers Market to open in Northport Friday A sure sign of summer is the opening of the Northport Farmers Market this Friday from 9 a.m. to 1 p.m. by the marina. The Northport market is the second of the six Leelanau Farmers Market locations to open for the season, with Suttons Bay having had its fourth week last Saturday. This is the fifth year for the Northport market, which was started by George Anderson on his property at the Depot. The market has expanded and now is held on both the Depot property and Northport Village property next to the marina parking lot. Omena’s Nine Bean Rows and Northport’s Bare Knuckle Farms will be among the vendors at the opening market. Last weekend was full of graduation activity. The graduation ceremony at Northport Public School on Friday night was a wonderful event. Friday night and Saturday saw lots of graduation parties. Congratulations to the Class of 2012, including Omena resident Austin Miller. In attendance at the graduation were 12 of the 17 members of the Class of 1962, who had gathered for their 50th reunion. They also attended the Northport 2012 Baccalaureate at the Bethany Lutheran Church. The reunion party on Saturday was at the home of Dave and Jacquie Johnson of Omena. Sally Cardy McCoy came from Northern Ireland to the reunion. She had been the class foreign exchange student in 1961-62. Sandy Lyst Swaby came from Flagstaff, Larry McMachen

from Las Vegas, Fred Hallett from Cleveland, and David A. Johnson from Minneapolis. Attendees from around Michigan were Ken Carlson, Ruby Korson Schaub, David A. Johnson, David Wonagesik, Carol Stowe Kalchik, Bobbie Dame Ditzler, Jon Smith, and David L. Johnson, who hosted the reunion event. Mary Helen and John Ray just returned from a very pleasant 12-day voyage with Betsy and Drew Ehrhardt on one of the Hurtigruten (mail) boats cruising the Norwegian coast. The cruise started in Bergen and traveled all the way to Kirkenes near the Russian border and back to Bergen with many stops along the way. One of the many highlights was viewing the North Cape. It was truly an international experience with announcements on the boat given in 4 languages; Norwegian, English, German and French. Congratulations to Omena resident JoAnne Gasco on her election to the Tribal Council of the Grand Traverse Band of Ottawa and Chippewa Indians. She is a former tribal court judge. Congratulations to Omena’s Nina Lingaur on her recent graduation from Navy basic training at the Great Lakes station and “A” school in San Antonio. She is now a master at arms and is stationed in Sasabo, Japan. The Leelanau Road Commission began well-needed work this past week on Omena Point Road. They will be making drainage improvements between Omena Heights Road and Fire Lane 5. This work will include the installation of two cross culverts under the Point Road, ditching along the road,

Summer season off and running in Glen Lake area with 2 races OK, here we go for another summer. The weather this past weekend was a loser, but it is going to straighten out and get better. I think all the businesses in the area are open including the seven new businesses in Glen Arbor and one in Empire, I think. If you read his very often, you know that I could be a little off. Speaking of a little off, last week one of the many, many eyes and ears that I use told me about Frank’s broken leg. Now it was true, but he failed to tell me it happened a couple of years ago. As they say across the lake on the wrong side of Lake Michigan, for Cri Yi. This Saturday is race day for the M-22 Challenge starting and ending at the National Park Service parking lot across from the dune. Then next week Saturday, June 16 is the Glen Arbor Solstice Half Marathon and 5K through Glen Arbor. After the race, is the Glen Arbor BBQ and Brew Festival, more next week. All I can say is Beer, BBQ and music. The Glen Lake Community Library is now maintaining a public access computer at the Yarn Shop in the Village Sampler in Glen Arbor. Mary Turak has generously provided space for this service which offers high speed Internet access, WiFi, word processing and a printer. The Library is also now offering a deliverey service for homebound seniors in the Glen Lake area. All materials from the library collection-booksmovies-music and more can be delivered directly to seniors homes at no charge. This program is offered thanks to a grant from the Leelanau County Commission on Aging. For more information, call 326-5361 or check the website at www.glenlakelibrary.net. Is nothing sacred? We live in the most Beautiful Place in America, but apparently not the most crime free area in the nation. The sign proclaiming “the most beautiful place in the nation” added to the Empire sign has been stolen. It was not a beautiful person that stole the sign. There is a reward for the return and if you know anyone or anything, let Dick

Figura in Empire know. Ann Miller was blessed with another great grand child. This one is per Ann, a beautiful baby girl. Her name is Fiona Lee and is the daughter of Ann’s Granddaughter Jamie and her husband James Saucedo. Congratulations. Don’t forget folks, you can still get memorial bricks to be placed n the Glen Arbor Garden. Just contact Terry Gretzema or Dotti Thompson at the Township offices. Also as a public service I will keep mentioning that the Glen Arbor Ramp is now under surveilance, pay up. Happy Anniversary to Linda and Jim Stevenson and to Sarah and Benjamin Cook. Happy Birthday wishes to Betty Haney, Bea Hodge, Terry Gretzema, Larry Krawczak, Jim Martin and Linda Turner. Also to Gary Brodhagen who has lived in the area since 1960. The usual well wishes to the chief. Watch out for deer and fudgies on the road. Go Sox.

and installation of an underdrain. If weather conditions permit, this work should take about two weeks. Starting around June 18, they will begin repaving the road. This should take about three days to complete. The road will be paved one lane at a time, with a lane closure of about one mile at a time. They will pave a new surface from the west end of the curve at the bottom of Omena Heights Road around to approximately halfway in between the two ends of Ingalls Bay Road. After the paving is done, they will do shoulder restoration on that same part of the road. That should take about four days to complete, with lane closures of

about ½ mile at a time. If the weather cooperates, they hope to done with above work by Tuesday, July 3. Later in the summer, they will seal coat (also referred to as “tar and chip”) the rest of Omena Point Road from where the repaving stops past Mougey Lake to M-22. Bluegrass music at its best is kicking off the 2012 Northport Community Arts Center season. Detour — Bluegrass Ahead will be performing Saturday at 8 p.m. Call 386–5001 for more information. The Leelanau Children’s Choir and Leelanau Youth Ensemble will hold their spring concert on Friday, June 15

at 7:30 p.m. at the Northport Community Arts Center. The theme this year is “Exploring Off-Broadway. This marks their 19th year for this very talented group. Tickets are $15 for adults and $5 for students, and are available at Dog Ears Books, Leelanau Books, The Painted Bird or at the door prior to the performance. Happy Birthday to mother and daughter, Ellie and Cathy Stephenson, who share the same birthday. Happy Birthday also to Alice Hauske, Mia Ballard, Jacquie Johnson, Jack Sarvis, Marilyn Singer, and Terry Groesser. Happy Anniversary to Tom and Marsha Buehler.

THE LEELANAU Childrens’ Choir and Youth Ensemble will perform Branching Out — Exploring Off-Broadway on Friday, June 15 at the Northport Community Arts Center.

Spring youth concert coming to Northport The Leelanau Childrens’ Choir and Leelanau Youth Ensemble (LCC/LYE) will present their spring concert Branching Out — Exploring OffBroadway on Friday, June 15 at the Northport Community Arts Center. The 7:30 p.m. concert will feature selections from many of the lesser known great musicals of New York’s “White Way” which will be performed by the choral ensembles as well as selected soloists and small groups. This season marked the 19th year of the LCC/LYE program which emphasizes not only musicality but collaboration, mentoring, leadership and personal responsibility. Margaret Bell, director, is particularly excited about the musical selections being presented. “This semester starts as an exploration of unfamiliar but wonderful Broadway songs. What we found was some of the well-known composers

have created everything from historical and serious music to whimsical and off-beat tunes,” Bell said. “This concert will reﬂect a real exploration of all of these different takes on the Broadway songs.” The Leelanau Childrens’ Choir is a county-wide, audition-based choral program for students age 8 through eighth grade. The LYE, for high school students, developed in response to the students’ desire to continue singing in a high quality, community-wide program. Tickets are available at Dog Ears in Northport; Leelanau Books in Leland; the Painted Bird in Suttons Bay or by calling 231-206-9908. Underwriters for this concert include Doug Fierberg: SchoolViolenceLaw. com, Bob and Diantha Naftali, Bella Fortuna North, Sara McVay and Mark Nesbitt, Schaub Team-Coldwell Banker, Linda Wiersma and Venture Properties.

Talk to center on God’s love at Old Art Building Ricardo Saldivar of Chicago will present a talk titled “God’s Love Answers All Your Needs,” at 8 p.m. Thursday, June 21 at the Old Art Building in Leland. The talk will be sponsored by the Glen Arbor’s First Church of Christ, Scientist. Saldivar’s childhood growing up along the US/Mexico border was a rich blend of two cultures. He says that his experience taught him to treasure all people. In 2004, Saldivar’s desire to help others led him to become

utes starting at noon. The concerts, scheduled for June 13, 24; July 11, 25; and Aug. 8 and 22, are free and open to the public. Immanuel Lutheran is located at 303 E. Pearl St. in Leland.

A little girl had the measles. Her infected eyes could not stand the sunlight. It made her squint and turn to the wall. So, her mother darkened the room to relieve the glare that was hurting her. As darkness filled the room, the mother asked, “Are you afraid of the dark?” The little girl quickly responded, “I am not afraid, Mother, as long as I can touch you.” There may be times when we feel as though we cannot see God or feel His presence, or we feel as though He is not listening. But there is never a time when He is beyond our touch. The Psalmist said that he felt forgotten. All of us have our dark, lonely days of despair. And we may feel the same as the Psalmist felt. The Lord has said, “I will never leave you nor forsake you” …” and I am with you always!” More often than not, it may be that we have forgotten or forsaken Him when we feel alone or afraid.

The names of all 14 seniors were mentioned several times Sunday at the St. Mary graduation ceremony — an outcome touted as a benefit to attending a small, Catholic school. Caleb Korson, who will study biochemical engineering this fall at Wayne State University, said in his valedictory address that 65 percent of the members of the Class of 2012 held some type of leadership role during their high school scholastic careers. He finished with, “I will always be an Eagle.” Each graduate’s name was also spoken by commencement speaker Lisa Miller and salutatorian Ashley Grant, who explained their individual accomplishments and traits in glowing terms. Miller asked graduates to consider how much time is wasted on texting to friends compared to listening to the

efforts of God to reach us. She provided a hypothetical text that God might send on their first days of college. For instance, Nicholas Shaffran might receive a text stating, “Trust me and don’t be afraid,” on Aug. 23, his first day of classes at Marquette University. She praised the role that God will play in helping graduates during their future studies. “Tons of research says students who believe in God do much better in college,” she said. Tears ran freely as Lizabeth Venie called the graduation roll, and graduates presented their diplomas to family members. They formed a reception line outside the church before tossing their caps into the air in celebration of the next phase of their lives.
